Mildfire’s latest release, “Drinking Salt Water,” takes a departure from their playful debut single, “Never Change,” and delves into somber territory. Set against a haunting, bumpy beat, this track confronts themes of emptiness and depression, painting a vivid picture of a world where summer seems absent, beds lack a lover’s warmth, words lose their meaning, and touches fail to evoke any feeling. It’s a song that resonates with anyone who has struggled to move on from past relationships or other life losses. “Drinking Salt Water” captures the essence of living day by day, unable to hatch long-term plans, and grappling with the resulting frustration and desolation.
Mildfire’s future looks promising, with plans to release more singles and two EPs in the upcoming fall, followed by their debut album in early 2024. Fans can also anticipate live shows in Norway and Germany in November.
Mildfire, a composer collective with a presence in both Oslo and Berlin, brings together members deeply entrenched in the Norwegian and German music scenes. Their extensive musical backgrounds, spanning more than a decade, encompass various bands and projects, including notable names like Team Me, Astrosaur, Synne Sanden, and more. With Mildfire, they embark on a journey of boundless creativity, pushing the boundaries of musical exploration.
In essence, Mildfire is not just a band; it’s a creative hub where artistic innovation knows no limits. “Drinking Salt Water” is a poignant reflection of their willingness to delve into the depths of human emotion, creating music that resonates with the soul.
