Today, the critically acclaimed and award-winning Naarm/Melbourne-based psychedelic jazz group, Mildlife, graces the musical realm with their ethereal new single and video, “Return to Centaurus.” Dipping into the cosmic vibes of its stellar namesake, this single effortlessly channels the celestial energies of Proxima and Alpha Centauri – the two stars closest to our Earth.
“Return to Centaurus” paints a vivid soundscape, alternating between grandiose cosmic images and the intricacies of molecular dimensions. Mildlife’s signature cosmo-jazz harmoniously aligns with the universe in this piece, beautifully connecting the magnanimous supergiants with the tiniest mitochondria. This track serves as a sonic reminder of the ever-present thread that binds the vast with the minuscule, just waiting for expression. With its expansive nature, “Return to Centaurus” feels like it could embrace the genesis of entire galaxies. It represents Mildlife’s audacious journey into the great unknown, beckoning listeners to join this celestial voyage.
The “Return to Centaurus” video, under the brilliant direction of Jordan Giusti, is an avant-garde masterpiece. The visuals depict the band members immersed in a 70’s space-futurism meets mid-century mod ambiance. As they seem lost in profound contemplation, a series of hypnotic zooms gradually unveil the vast galaxies that lie both within and beyond them.
Since their emergence, Mildlife has showcased their artistry across 23 nations with over 100 live performances. Their magnetic aura has resonated with many, leading to sold-out national tours and international adventures spanning the UK, North America, and Europe. Festival goers have also been captivated by their captivating sets at renowned events like Splendour in the Grass, Meredith Music Festival, Strawberry Fields, and more. Mildlife’s journey continues with their return to the UK/EU for upcoming shows next year.
