Gareth From the starting arpeggio a delicious treat begins! I hear a little Brian Eno in there too, and the guitar work is perfect.

Sean Collins A wicked jam with familiar sounds from previous tracks. Love the bass guitar on all their music. Looking forward to grooving to Phase next year.

propeller As an amateur astronomer any reference to the moon will give me shivers. I am also a fan of progressive rock and can digest hours of hearing the synthesiser. This song is a really great modern classic guys. I love it and will play it often. Steve

about

The debut single from Melbourne four piece, Mildlife is finally here!

Narrowing down the group's style into a genre is almost impossible, as they bond over the desire to push musical boundaries. No strangers to the Melbourne band scene, the four old friends have been drawing crowds through an epic journey at intimate venues and festivals for the best part of the past 4 years. Developing a tight live show bolstered by wild improvisation, the group have left punters itching for their first full length studio album that mines jazz, psych and disco for its irresistible groove

"The Magnificent Moon" a 9 minute psychedelic disco journey is the opening track taken from Mildlife’s debut LP "Phase" due for release early 2018. Capturing the spirit of the band, this kaleidoscope jam is the interplanetary path between jazz, funk and disco with the perfect amalgamation of cosmic electronics and soulful acoustic instrumentation.

Tom Shanahan explains its entrancing grip, “The Magnificent Moon feels like the veteran journeyman to the rest of the album. I’m not sure if that’s because it was written first or because it seems to know what it wants and has a more considered direction. It never really second guesses itself except for maybe just before the outro when he realises he may have journeyed too far and his space suit has a hole in it. But then he just jams some gum in the hole and gets on with it anyway.”
