135 Days From Now - 2/23/2018

From a publicist's email:

Chapter is thrilled to be releasing Her, the second album by Melbourne lush pop quartet Totally Mild, on February 23, 2018. Today sees the band sharing the breathtaking video for lead single "Today Tonight" (directed by Tobias Willis). It debuted via the UK's Clash, who wrote, "led by Elizabeth Mitchell, the Australian quartet match off kilter guitars to some striking melodies, and fascinating lyricism."

The band's Elizabeth Mitchell said of the single "Today Tonight"; "Written during a long period of unemployment, 'Today Tonight' is quite literally me passing the days waiting for my girlfriend to come home from work. Sinking into the kind of depression that comes from doing nothing when you have the time to do whatever you want, the guilt of unproductivity. The house becomes a trap, you're not interesting enough to leave it anyway. The video by Tobias Willis plays on the theme of faded glamour and isolation, drawing inspiration from films like Sunset Boulevard and A Woman Under the Influence."
Video director, Tobias Willis, explains further; "After hearing the track and the initial concepts from the band I was thrilled when I was approached to make the video. I really enjoy any opportunity to incorporate that classic Hollywood cinema aesthetic into my work, films from that era are some of my favourites."

And here's the video!
