Mildred – “Fluorescence”

The Oakland alt-country band Mildred followed up their tremendous new album Fenceline in September with "Bird Laugh," the A-side from a new 7". Today the B-side has arrived. "Fluorescence" is a twilit midtempo sway that, more than most countrified indie rock, makes the genres sound like peanut butter and chocolate together.

The band's Henry Easton Koehler shared this statement:

I had the second verse of this song kicking around in my phone for a long time before any other lyrics or melody. It conjured an image of an old, jaded professor waiting in line among his students for the urinal. I wrote the rest pretty quickly.
