Hello all!

mildred’s beautifully reflective single Water out now

mildred are one of my favourite bands. Over the past year or so I’ve annoyed so many people in my life about them - now it’s your turn! They’re from Oakland, CA - but the drummer Will is FKA Tree House and so has been in the MoD universe for quite some time, before he moved away to the USA, which was a deep tragedy.

However - this twisted history led to me getting a sneak peak of mildred’s early recordings, which I discovered to be an absolute delight. The pure, pure sound of four sweet, quiet dudes shooting the shit with each other. Poetic musings with a deep sense of ….something. And music that I feel like putting on to listen to in almost any occasion. Something about it keeps me coming back for more.

They were all living in a house together while self recording these and the sense of casual comradery is clear in every note. It feels so fitting for this track Water to be the first release, as it’s the perfect ode to friendship, platonic love and support to introduce the world to this band.

All this being said, I think if I read this description of a chummy band writing songs about being friends I’d think ‘that sounds like shit, that sounds cheesy as fuck’ and I might nott bother listening. HOWEVER - I would be wrong, because this is actually deep, beautiful and -most of all- fun.

They did 2 shows in London in August and both were phenomenal. We have so much food music to share.

Their mild EP will be out 3rd October - pre save it here.

wing! EP out this week!

In other news, wing!’s debut EP MISSED IT JUST THE ONCE, is out THIS WEDNESDAY 10th September. PRESAVE IT!

The response to their Green Man set opening the mainstage was MAGICAL. Adam aka wing! is one of the best guys about, and Kai and Joe who make up the wing! live trio are also incredibly talented. They’re starting to play more and more new tunes live, and the development since this EP is so exciting - but also this EP itself is the fucking bomb. Don’t miss it. And definately don’t miss their EP launch show at the Brixton Windmill, on Friday 12th September.

Follow wing! on insta and tiktok.

We’re dropping tshirts with the EP too - check it out on bandcamp! Designed by our very own AJ Capozzi. Woah
