TOTALLY MILD SHARES NEW VIDEO FOR 'FROM ONE ANOTHER'
"From One Another" was directed by Tobias Willis of KEWL Studios and he notes, "this clip was a considered follow on from the previous for 'Today Tonight,' is drawing Liz's character to a subtle close. As with the other clips we were aiming to keep the video in a more cinematic space and were referencing some of those classic one takes from 60's & 70's cinema. Throughout the tracking shot each character vignette has it's own story exploring themes of loneliness, faith and friendship." IndieShuffle have called the track "a sticky sweet indie pop gem that's lush with infectious chords and vocals."
Following an Australian tour with Perfume Genius, Totally Mild will be making their way to the US for slots at SXSW and a show at Brooklyn's Rough Trade on March 19. More dates to be added soon.
Totally Mild started out as the solo project of songwriter Elizabeth Mitchell, and has now become a full blown lush pop quartet with the addition of guitar magician Zachary Schneider, drummer Ashley Bundang and bassist Lehmann Smith. With Her, the band's quasi-psychic intensity, surging forward or pulling back in seamless unison has been captured in crystalline form by producer and one-time Architecture In Helsinki member James Cecil.
As always, Elizabeth's voice is a thing of unearthly beauty, capable of soaring and swooping in shiver-inducing ways. As a songwriter she is equally arresting, addressing desires and dreams with affecting frankness.
About the new album, Mitchell says "Her is a record of failure and victory, new desire, stale romance, queer domesticity and what comes when the party is over. I was torn between a new domestic life and the impulse to tear it all away with bad choices. I fell in love, but I wrestled for independence. I was always trying to prove that I didn't need anyone; my wife, my friends, my band. Her is a document of a woman struggling with the idea of potential. We are told that we could be limitless, but we wrestle with unseen personal and structural walls."
