Mild High Club are streaming their new album, Skiptracing. The band’s full-length is out today via Stones Throw Records. The band re-imagines AM radio hits as blasting in from a parallel universe, the sound of early 70s LA. Alexander Brettin and band look to the wry, trenchant wit of Steely Dan, gazing deep into the dark underbelly of sun-bright LA and coming away with a catchy song underpinned by slippery jazz phrasings.

Mild High Club have made an album that strikes a balance between the known and unknown aspects of art and creation. By opening up and allowing creative variables in, Brettin learned a valuable lesson that lies at the heart of Skiptracing itself: “When you wish upon the unknown, you might be surprised by the rewards.”

Mild High Club kick off their North American tour in support of Skiptracing tonight, and will tour throughout the fall, before heading to Europe.
