It seems like the West Coast is turning out quality alternative rock bands at an alarming rate this year. The latest addition to this flurry is Claremont, CA natives, Mildura, who are about to release their new EP, ‘Change’. Today we are bringing you an exclusive play of one of the tracks from it, ‘Soft Skin’, which Nick Giunta from the band explains is about the ability to move on.
“The song is about no longer feeling bitter,’ says Giunta. “It’s about asking the person that’s moved on to a more successful relationship, what it is that we lacked, or what could I have done better. In hopes to grow as a person, and not have to continually eat dinner alone.”
‘Change’ is released on June 17th via Ronald Records, and is available to pre-order now. Mildura will be on tour across the US through summer with I’m Glad It’s You, which you can see the dates for below.
