: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: When MildlifeÆs debut album, Phase, was released in 2018 it :,
: didnÆt so much explode on to the scene as ooze. Their :
:' mellifluous mix of jazz, krautrock and, perhaps more ':
,: pertinently, demon grooves, was the word of mouth sensation of :,
: that year among open - minded DJs and diggers searching for the :
:' perfect beat. Their emergence was backed up by European tours ':
,: that demonstrated a riotously loose - limbed approach to :,
: performance that was every bit as thrilling as PhaseÆs :
:' tantalising promise. What was more impressive was how lightly ':
,: they wore influences that took in Can, Patrick Adams and Jan :,
: Hammer Group, while primarily sounding precisely like Mildlife. :
:' By the end of 2018 theyÆd been nominees for Best Album at the ':
,: Worldwide FM Awards (WorldwideÆs Gilles Peterson was a notable :,
: champion) and won Best Electronic Act at The Age Musi c Victoria :
:' Awards back home in Melbourne. Their progress post - Phase was ':
,: cemented with a UK deal with Jeff BarrettÆs Heavenly, who :,
: released How Long Does It Take? replete with Cosmic doyen :
:' Baldelli and Dionigi remixes, while last year they were ':
,: officially a nointed by DJ Harvey when he included The :,
: Magnificent Moon on his Pikes compilation Mercury Rising Vol II. :
:' ':
,: With Automatic, the band have made a step - change from their :,
: debut. ItÆs more disciplined, directional and arguably more :
:' danceable. As on Phase, they are unafraid to let a track ':
,: luxuriate in length without ever succumbing to self - :,
: indulgence. The arrangements, tightly structured thanks to Tom :
:' Shanahan (bass) and Jim RindfleishÆs fatback drumming, permit ':
,: space for the others to add spice to the stew, topped off with :,
: Kevin McDowellÆs ethereal vocals as Mildlife effortlessly glide :
:' between live performance and studio songwriting. The ':
,: centrepiece of Automatic is the title track where the band sound :,
: like Kraftwerk and Herbie Hancock on quarantined lockdown in Bob :
:' MoogÆs Trumansburg workshop. ItÆs both a departure and ':
,: quintessentially Mildlife. This is music you can dance to rather :,
: than ædance musicÆ and itÆs all the better for it. :
