Fenceline
Mildred releasetheir debut album Fenceline (via Memorials of Distinction / Dog Day Records).
Speaking of āFish Sticksā and the album, Mildred say: āFish Sticks is a song of scenes from two worlds. Conversations with your boss. Acute workplace mediocrity. Riding home and eating fish sticks with your friends. For UK audiences, a fish stick is a fish finger, ideally Alaskan-caught cod. The song comes packaged in Fenceline, an album about conversations with old friends, little cousins, ceaseless piles of dust in your crumbling duplex, loves and theologians and their books. Fencelines mark two places but belong to neither. Neither nor, either or.ā
Ahead of Fenceline, at the end of last year Mildred released their debut twin EPs mild and red, an insatiable collection of songs birthed before Mildred even knew they were a band. Arriving purposefully on the scene in that gentle, approachable Mildred way, the EPs picked up support from The Guardian, The Line of Best Fit, Uncut (āWeāre New Hereā), The New Cue, Clash, DIY and more.
Mildred is a band from Oakland, CA of four equal parts. They donāt have a lead singer, no one person writes the songs. The songs that make up Fenceline come together as a group with their genesis sprouting from any one of their members - Henry Easton Koehler (vocals, guitar), Jack Schrott (vocals, guitar), Matt Palmquist (vocals, bass, woodwinds) or Will Fortna (drums, production) - each time. The songs are often wrestled from the lead writer by the other three, a lyric might have been mumbled absentmindedly for a few days before one of the other three grabs at it.
Summed up neatly by Clash āimagine if Pavement went Americana and youād be closeā, Mildred make music that is pure and poetic, gently addictive and never overwrought.
The lyrics for their songs are written largely alone and often draw from their own individual lives and experiences but thereās a shared something there. āIt makes sense when common threads emergeā they say, ābecause we do things together a lot as friends: cook, laze about on a weekend, listen to an album, go walkabout, read, go see movies etc.
Strikingly literal or intriguingly oblique, Mildred have a remarkable way with lyrics that lodge themselves in your head softly but with such determination that they begin to feel like shimmering memories from your own life. Fenceline is a collection of songs that you want to hold close and delve into, and yet play to everyone you know.
For Fans Of: Naima Bock, Silver Jews ,Bill Callahan, Big Thief, Yo La Tengo, Wilco, Pavement, MJ Lenderman, Silver Jews, Parquet Courts, Bill Callahan, Alex G, Dutch Interior, This Is Lorelei.
