Following the release of Her via Chapter Music last week, Australia’s Totally Mild have shared a video for their single “From One Another.” The video debuted via Culture Collide who note that the track, “sees the band maturing their ethereal, guitar-driven sound to further compliment Elizabeth’s sultry vocals. Schneider drives the melody with bright, angular strumming-not unlike Johnny Marr’s guitar work on the early Smiths albums.”
Director Tobias Willis of KEWL Studios (who directed the videos for both “From One Another” and “Today Tonight“) explains further:
“This clip, considered follow on from the previous for ‘Today Tonight,’ is drawing Liz’s character to a subtle close. As with the other clips we were aiming to keep the video in a more cinematic space and were referencing some of those classic one takes from 60’s & 70’s cinema. Throughout the tracking shot each character vignette has it’s own story exploring themes of loneliness, faith and friendship.”
As always, Elizabeth’s voice is a thing of unearthly beauty, capable of soaring and swooping in shiver-inducing ways. As a songwriter she is equally arresting, addressing desires and dreams with affecting frankness.
About the new album, Mitchell says “Her is a record of failure and victory, new desire, stale romance, queer domesticity and what comes when the party is over. I was torn between a new domestic life and the impulse to tear it all away with bad choices. I fell in love, but I wrestled for independence. I was always trying to prove that I didn’t need anyone; my wife, my friends, my band. Her is a document of a woman struggling with the idea of potential. We are told that we could be limitless, but we wrestle with unseen personal and structural walls.”
