about

Berlin/Oslo based collective MILDFIRE releases their debut album "Kids In Traffic" on February 23rd, 2024 on Fabelaktig Records and Sinnbus.

"Kids In Traffic" are ten songs written on the road – from Brooklyn’s smelly street corners to cat filled Greek islands. It’s the sound of mental breakdowns and utter eurphoria, and the dullness in between.

A trilogy of critically acclaimed debut EPs by the composer collective Mildfire, that were always intended to be put together. Born out of glitter and self-loathing, the songs represent a journey physically and mentally. The title hints to feeling like kids trying to play in a street full of cars. You can’t help but to get hit sometimes.
– Writing these songs saved us. Together with therapy. We wanted to make a collection of songs celebrating the mistakes that you learn from.

Mildfire is the reincarnation of Norwegian indie phenomena Einar Stray Orchestra. The crystal clear voice and cello sounds of Team Me’s Ofelia Ossum complimenting songwriter Einar Stray’s signature baritone and his first go with his sore and souly falsetto. Astrosaur’s Steinar Glas plays the bass and MesaVerde/Synne Sanden’s Lars Fremmerlid drums better than ever.

Very, very attractive music – Totally Radio UK
Exceptional talent – Plastic Mag
 Mildfire is worth getting to know! – GAFFA

Their 2023 debut EP “Drinking Salt Water”, released on Sinnbus, is the lovechild of Steve Reich and Prince. A new shimmering take on indie art pop inspired by the likes of Dirty Projectors and Mew. The second EP “How To Be An Astronaut” wowed critics with its 12 minute long, 4 part train ride from tender piano creaks and electronic beats to prog rock explosions and a folky mandolin outro. With the atmospheric yet hardhitting “Shirin EP” now in the collection, the trilogy showcases the nordic pop hearts’ eclectic span and experimental lust. Mixed and co-produced by Øyvind Røsrud (Rumble In Rhodos, Hanne Kolstø).

The Oslo and Berlin based quartet has contributed to over 115 millions streams and hundreds of concerts internationally. Driven by the urge to touch hearts with their classical music inspired indie outfit. In addition to touring with everything from stoner rock bands to singer-songwriters, they are directing choirs, vinyl DJ-ing, working with theatre plays, and taking part in International collabs like with musician Ali Àit Zaouit in Morocco and Music Art Tabor in Bulgaria.
