Since then, he’s changed his name to Mildriot and finished an album, “Fought Songs,” which is due for release in February via Sister 9 Recordings, which is apparently somewhere in the UK (their website hypes him as their “first US-based artist”).
The songs are endearingly unpolished and dizzy and simple — home recordings that seem rooted in the hushed and insular late ’90s and early-aughts indie rock of bands like Grandaddy and the Unicorns.
