Following the release of their debut album Fenceline in April, Mildred recently shared new single ‘Bird Laugh’, today they have followed up with its AA-side counterpart ‘Fluorescence’. A limited vinyl pressing of both singles will be available exclusively at Mildred’s upcoming UK shows.
On lead writing and vocal duties this time around, Henry Easton Koehler says of the single:
”I had the second verse of this song kicking around in my phone for a long time before any other lyrics or melody. It conjured an image of an old, jaded professor waiting in line among his students for the urinal. I wrote the rest pretty quickly.”
In true Mildred style Henry’s words open a window into the song just enough to conjure an inseparable and vivid image. The full story however remains elusive, intriguing enough for the listener to actively participate in its construction. An irresistible melody regardless.
Having just finished a sold out US tour supporting Frog, this month Mildred embark on a full UK tour which includes Brighton, Bristol, Manchester, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Leeds and a show at London’s The Ivy House which sold out straight away, leading to the addition of a matinee show which did exactly the same. Then Brighton and Leeds followed suit.
Following the full selling out of both the first black vinyl press of their debut album as well as the limited DINKED edition, a limited repress of the album is available now on ‘Civil Twilight Amber’ in the UK and ‘Aquinal Blue’ vinyl in the US. A limited Rough Trade ‘Sky Splatter’ vinyl repress has just been announced. Pre-order here.
