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 emergen ce was backed up by European tours that demonstrated a riotously loose – limbed approach to performance that was every bit as thrilling as Phase’s tantalising promise. What was more impressive was how lightly they wore influences that took in Can, Patrick Ad ams and Jan Hammer Group, while primarily sounding precisely like Mildlife. By the end of 2018 they’d been nominees for Best Album at the Worldwide FM Awards (Worldwide’s Gilles Peterson was a notable champion) and won Best Electronic Act at The Age Music Victoria Awards back home in Melbourne. Their progress post – Phase was cemented with a UK deal with Jeff Barrett’s Heav- enly, 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. It’s more disciplined, directional and arguably more danceable. As on Phase, the y are unafraid to let a track luxuriate in length without ever suc- cumbing to self – indulgence. The arrangements, tightly structured thanks to Tom Shanahan (bass) and Jim Rindfleish’s fatback drumming, permit space for the others to add spice to the stew, to pped off with Kevin McDowell’s ethereal vocals as Mildlife effortlessly glide between live performance and studio songwriting. “The recorded songs kind of become the new reference point for playing the songs live,’ says Kevin. “They both have different out comes and we make our decisions for each based on that, but they’re symbiotic and they both influence each other. It’s usually a fairly natural flow from live to recorded back to live.” With the current climate as it is, opportunities to take this album o ut into the live arena where the band truly come alive, might well be scant, but they are working on ways around this. “We were hoping to visit new places with this album but that’s required a bit of rethink. We have a lot more videos planned for this year and we’ll be doing shows in Australia when things re – open but it’s still all just wait and see for now.” One thing’s for sure, post – lockdown will be one hell of a party. The centrepiece of Automatic is the title track where the band sound like Kraftwerk and Herbie Hancock on quarantined lockdown in Bob Moog’s Trumansburg workshop. It’s both a departure and quintessentially Mildlife. This is music you can dance to rather than ‘dance music’ and it’s all the better for it. – Bill Brewster Artist Mildlife Genre Rock And Pop Label Heavenly Buying Options 180g 1LP Format 180g , 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings 1 Rare Air 00:06:53 2 Vapour 00:04:23 3 Downstream 00:06:21 4 Citations 00:08:51 5 Memory Palace 00:06:42 6 Automatic 00:08:41 Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Mildlife and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Mildlife Chorus Rock And Pop | Heavenly | 1LP Released 1st March 2024 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mildlife Chorus £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Heavenly SKU: HVNLP222 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st March 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mildlife Live from South Channel Island Jazz | Heavenly | 2LP Released 29th April 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mildlife Live from South Channel Island £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Heavenly SKU: HVNLP199 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 29th April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mildlife Vapour Electronica | Heavenly | 12", Single Released 30th October 2020 £10.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mildlife Vapour £10.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Heavenly SKU: HVN570 Formats: 12", Single Released Date: 30th October 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Aretha Franklin Sings the Great Diva Classics Rock And Pop | Sony Music | 1LP Released 15th December 2014 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Aretha Franklin Sings the Great Diva Classics £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Music SKU: 88875034881 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 15th December 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bon Iver Bon Iver, Bon Iver Folk | 4AD | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 20th June 2011 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bon Iver Bon Iver, Bon Iver £21.00 Genre: Folk Label: 4AD SKU: CAD3117 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 20th June 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nerina Pallot I Don’t Know What I’m Doing Rock And Pop | 76709 Idaho Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 28th October 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nerina Pallot I Don’t Know What I’m Doing £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 76709 Idaho Records SKU: IDAHO284LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 28th October 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pink Floyd The Dark Side Of The Moon 50th Anniversary 2023 Remaster Limited Collectors Edition Uv Vinyl Picture Disc Rock And Pop | Pink Floyd Music Ltd | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Picture Disc Released 19th April 2024 £65.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Pink Floyd The Dark Side Of The Moon 50th Anniversary 2023 Remaster Limited Collectors Edition Uv Vinyl Picture Disc £65.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Pink Floyd Music Ltd SKU: 5054197665325 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Picture Disc Released Date: 19th April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Jean Michel Jarre Oxygene Trilogy (Deluxe Box Set) Electronica | Sony Music | 180g, 3LP, Box Set Released 2nd December 2016 £168.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jean Michel Jarre Oxygene Trilogy (Deluxe Box Set) £168.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Sony Music SKU: 88985361872 Formats: 180g, 3LP, Box Set Released Date: 2nd December 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Elton John The Fox Rock And Pop | UMR / EMI | 1LP Released 16th June 2023 £26.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Elton John The Fox £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMR / EMI SKU: 4803479 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 16th June 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Marc Bolan & T.
