Mildred – “Bird Laugh”

Back in April, the Oakland alt-country band Mildred released their new album Fenceline. If you're into the booming cottage industry that is post-Pavement/Silver Jews 2020s slacker twang, you'll want to hear it. Mildred play with an easygoing looseness, even as lightweight melancholia hangs over everything, and their rotation of four singer-songwriters drawls with a tender melodic touch. Imagine if Friendship sounded a good deal more country and a bit less depressed, and you'd be in the ballpark. The post Mildred – “Bird Laugh” appeared first on Stereogum.
