Mild High Club has recently toured with legendary post-punk outfit Wire, Ariel Pink, Mac DeMarco and Mikal Cronin and has received acclaim from NME, LA’s KCRW, Stereogum and many more

Mild High Club is the home for the musical output of Alexander Brettin, a jazz-schooled musician transplanted from the Midwest to Los Angeles. Premiered originally via Stereogum, they write of the
blissed out psych track, “it feels like a lost ‘60s tune, each note sustained with a twirl of vibrato creating an elongated nonchalant West Coast vibe...it’s sweet, in all senses of the word.”
Recording with a Fostex 4-track cassette recorder, MacBook, 12-string electric guitar, PortaSound keyboard, bass, drum machine, software instruments “and whatever was lying around,” Brettin began recording Timeline in 2012. In addition to the pure pop
of singer-songwriter Todd Rundgren, sixties psych wields an obvious influence over Mild High Club’s music. Brettin strips away the opulence and over-the- top arrangements and oddball tomfoolery commonly associated with it in favor of phased melodies and heartfelt lyrics.
