The Oakland-based alt-country outfit Mildred followed their acclaimed new release Fenceline with the single “Bird Laugh,” the A-side of a fresh 7-inch issued in September. The B-side lands today. “Fluorescence” unfolds as a dusk-hued, midtempo sway that, more than most countrified indie rock, blends peanut butter and chocolate into a single, unlikely harmony.
The band’s Henry Easton Koehler shared this statement:
I had the song’s second verse lingering on my phone for ages, long before any other lines or a melody came together. It conjured an image of a weary, aging professor waiting in line among students at the restroom. I pieced the rest of the lyrics together rather quickly.
