Goodnight Mr Yi

LP/CD/DOWNLOAD

Squeeze Me

Drive the Lorry

Nose for a Mountain

Runner

[Verse 1]
I left my voice in the static air
A ghost in the afterglow, I hear I'm there
Every streetlight hums my name
I walk those reflections but they don't feel the same
Can't escape the undertow
Love's a river I can't let go
I fade, I fall, still tied in sound
The more I reach, the less I'm found

[Chorus]
I fall into the sound of me
I whisper calling gravity
The cure I chase is underneath
I could breathe it in but never breathe

[Verse 2]
In the glow of the sleepless dawn
I chase my essence but the light moves on
Every heartbeat breaks in two
One for me, one lost to myself
Maybe I'm the echo, maybe I'm the flame
Maybe love's a wound that keeps its name
I still hear my thoughts in the static rain
I'm half alive, half my chain

[Chorus]
I fall into the sound of me
I whisper calling gravity
The cure I chase is underneath
I could breathe it in but never breathe

Breathe

Love Letters (Soulwax Remix)

The Inside Outside

Early in 2018, the world was introduced to Mildlife through their debut album Phase. Few first releases amass praise from Mojo, The Guardian, BBC 6 Music, The Express, and Shindig, then go on to be celebrated by DJ Mag, Resident Advisor, Worldwide FM, Dummy and Indie Shuffle. But it’s precisely this eclectic mix of genres, tastes, and influences that brought Mildlife together, and what they committed to reflecting in their sound. After a surreal start to 2018, the four-piece completed a sold-out national tour of Australia, and recently announced plans to cross the oceans for their debut Europe and UK tours.

With the release of their debut imminent, Mildlife took retreat at Research Records HQ in Melbourne, staying overnight after recording each morning and afternoon. It resulted in the evolution of the title track, newly imagined and re-contextualised at increased tempo with swathes of improvisation throughout. The studio recording was the culmination of the song’s growth in a live setting, evolving on club stages and at festivals throughout 2017.

Mildlife’s knack for locked-in grooves and celestial tones features heavily across ‘Phase II’, a more than 11-minute sonic journey. Kevin McDowell's synth soars while Adam Halliwell’s growing prowess as a flautist is peppered over James Donald’s shimmering percussion. Shortly after, Tom Shanahan's phased bass appears, and the four lock into a groove that gives a subtle nod to 1960s Krautrock band, Can. It’s not long before ‘Phase II’ erupts into a cosmic jazz-funk that urges you to move. It sucks you in, free of worry and consequence; utterly otherworldly. It’s no surprise that the band has been described as “kaleidoscopic”, “irresistible” and “enchanting”. With Mildlife, you’ll always leave wanting more.
