Mississauga, Ontario's eclectic noise-pop trio Mildew Mildew are gearing up for the release of their debut for Toronto underground rock label Art of the Uncarved Block. On March 1 the label will release a cassette that combines songs from two new EPs, Double Doors and Different Floors. We're thrilled to share a stream of the off-kilter band's new work with you here today at Punknews.

Here's what the label had to say about the unpredictable group:

"Mildew Mildew fearlessly creates songs that unravel like stories; their structures being both dynamic and deeply colourful as they unfurl… These sessions were a result of work made at an unflinching speed and creative fury, leaving listeners to wonder if these songs weren’t actually summoned by some greater artistic force. Albeit drastically unique in their form, Double Doors/Different Floors is not a far cry from the spastic and borderless creativity delivered by the early releases of Modest Mouse and Built to Spill, or the trademark rhythmic tension seen in the carefree demeanour of Pavement’s percussionists. While effortlessly dusting off the cobwebs of indie-rock, Mildew Mildew have begun setting themselves apart as innovators poised to deliver songs that are both reassuringly spry and fiercely exciting to a new generation of listeners."

 

Mildew Mildew features vocalist/guitarist from Nolan Jakupovski, bassist Cameron Leslie, and drummer Tristan Sousa.

A release show for the cassette is set for March 1 at Toronto's Dupe Shop on March 1, with support from Pour Toi and Teenage Green Bean. It's all-ages and PWYC. Art of the Uncarved Block has the limited quality, handmade cassettes available for order now.
