red by mildred

mildred is a band from Oakland, CA of four equal parts: four singers, four songwriters. Their debut EP 'mild' released via Memorials of Distinction / Dog Day Records.

mildred were first friends, then roommates, then a band. Their songs are the result of living room sessions before and after dinner. The border between the living/practice room and kitchen was open and porous.

Jack and Henry grew up in Portland, Oregon at rival schools. Henry and Will met in their mid-20s and discovered they were third cousins (their grannies were best friends). Matt met Henry many years back after spending summers on the same farm in Southern Oregon.

These were recorded over the course of a couple weekends in the living room, Will and Jack had amassed enough janky microphones and working knowledge of the recording process to duct tape their way through a recording session.

The songs from these sessions later fell into two drawers. The first drawer, marked 'mild' contains songs a little softer around the edges. The contents of the 'red' drawer are a little more angular.
