Mildred – Fenceline

Fenceline is the debut album from Oakland band Mildred, a record of poetic songwriting, warm analogue textures and gently addictive arrangements that sit somewhere between indie rock, Americana and soft-focus baroque pop. Built collaboratively by all four members, the album carries a loose, lived-in intimacy that gives its songs both personality and emotional pull.

From the homespun storytelling of ‘Fish Sticks’ to the reflective charm that runs throughout the record, Fenceline feels deeply personal without losing its melodic immediacy. A beautifully realised debut for listeners drawn to the world of Big Thief, Silver Jews, Alex G and Pavement at their most tender.
