“From quiet and delicate to thrashing out angst ridden melodies, they were a prescience to be witnessed..” - Ditch This Magazine, 2018
"I totally see the Gareth Liddiard comparisons! I found myself being constantly impressed and surprised from start to finish." -Veronica Milson (Triple J)
“It's like Mogwai or Explosions In The Sky but with actual vocals, and if that doesn't sound amazing to you, I don't know what will!" -Killyourstereo
A catalyst to engaging and discovering your psyche, and contemplating deeper and darker reasoning, Fierce Mild has been described as a synthesis of David Lynch & The Drones - a group that draws from cinema, visual art and Australian history, as much as any musical influences, to craft their intricate brand of Post-Electro Cinematic Art Rock. After a small respite, the Melbourne outfit are now back with their new release "No Sense".
The new single was recorded at Echidna Studio in Christmas Hills in Victoria, with the talented Nikita Miltiadou. Drawing from the emotional turmoil of losing a close friend, the song explores the trading of death and life as lead singer, Troy explains; "This song was written when my friend died of cancer. He was only 25 and a very talented comedian who never really got to share any of that with the world. I tried so many different ways of expressing how I was feeling at the time of his death. To sum up our joint experience on earth. However, it just all proved too trite, in a way he would never have wanted. In the end the wind took all those words away and I felt myself melting into the process of grief eventually accepting that it was something I would never understand. The perpetual trading of human life as well as any other sentience that you can call life on earth."
After showcasing their unique brand of live performances at Brisbane's music festival & conference BIGSOUND, 2017 saw the group critically acclaimed as one of Australia's standout new acts by the industry, patrons and media alike. Since then, they have signed to GAGA Music and have shared the stage with the likes of sleepmakeswaves as well as And So I Watch You From Afar.
The music and artwork of Fierce Mild explore on the idea of waking the sleeping, and separating from the constructed world around us. Time is altered as multiple images are displayed at once as the band's live performance combines music, sound art and three channels of live projection art to create an immersive experience across multiple senses.
Fierce Mild is known for their groundbreaking multimedia convergences. Their 2018 VR experience sold out and was promptly booked for the opening night of West Projections, VIVID 2018 and Melbourne Music Week 2018, while also being exhibited at Clipped Music Video Festival. Their debut album is to be released on Stargazed Records this year.
