If you're into your sweet indie you should give [UFoze] a listen." --Jude, Besonic "You go, Seth and Andrew!" --Seth Godin, author of Unleashing the Ideavirus "Just listened to your song [UFoze]! Cool! Thanks for letting me hear it. I have long felt that music like this will one day have a big audience." --Courtney Brown, Ph.D., Director of The Farsight Institute and author of Cosmic Voyage: A Scientific Discovery of Extraterrestrials Visiting Earth "mild7 plays minimal, acoustic based alt. pop. This duo uses acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards, various percussion instruments, and a four-track recorder, to create a gentle, very tuneful pop song." --Tom Heyman, Listen.com "I'm diggin' yo' stuff! Lou Reed/Violent Femmes (if we have to compare) with a tumbleweed perspective." --David Bell, solo artist, formerly of The Ravyns "I really LOVE your new CD. It's so funny and tender and wry. It makes me cry in spots. (In a good way.)" --Amy Storrow, author of the novel Telephone Road "Great music, and I love the lyrics!" --Holly Morrison, solo artist and actress formerly known as Roula "Just listening to your stuff." --Regan, solo artist "mild7's lyrics reflect the complexity of the human experience (i.e. it's funny 'cause it's true)." --Michael Heitt, Psy.D., Clinical Psychologist "What a blast! Where did you find these guys? mild7's unfiltered truly is unfiltered: somehow they tap into raw sound itself, the very bedrock of musical experience. --Susannah Mintz, Ph.D., Department of English, St. John's University "Hendrix asked, 'Have you ever been experienced?' mild7 goes beyond that provocative query to wonder: 'What happens if we deny experience--all the micky-mocker mimicry of established bands, all the frippery and finery of the postmodern production studio--and return to innocence--where the heart of rock & roll pulses in its nascent nobility?' Now that's some arresting stuff--anything but 'mild.'" --Greg Fraser, Ph.D., poet "unfiltered is the best type of album, one you find yourself listening to over and over again. Especially if you have good drugs." --Shane Mitchell, The Creaps Check out the artist's website: http://www.mild7.net/htmlcode/inside_swlit.html Track List: 2. Neighbors '¢ the Tamborines 3.
