MILDRED TRAILER HITCH
mildred - the California-based four-piece formed of longtime friends Henry, Jack, Matt, and Will - have shared 'Trailer Hitch', the final preview of their upcoming EP, red. This follows the band's debut EP, mild, released back in October. 'Trailer Hitch' possesses a folk-Americana sway in its light drum tread, steady bass melody, and lightly brushed guitar strokes, which complement the easygoing vocals and stream-of-consciousness lyricism. Speaking on the track, the band explain simply: “Got a cold. Went on vacation. Feeling feverish under the taxidermy. Watched ‘Old Joy’ by Kelly Reichardt.” The track feels aptly languorous, incorporating subtle pop shimmers that lend an infectious quality. red is due for release on 5 December via Memorials of Distinction / Dog Day Records. -Kayla Sandiford
