Mildred Maude—Cornwall trio Matt Ashdown (guitar), Lee Wade (bass), and Louie Newlands (drums)—create thrilling, improvised noise music balancing chaos and beauty, blending influences like Sonic Youth and Slowdive. Their second album Sleepover features long, experimental tracks inspired by Stereolab, Can, and Sun Ra, with standout moments like the endless vinyl groove on “Elliott’s Floor” and the intense, brief “Chemo Brain,” reflecting bassist Lee’s cancer treatment. Rooted in Cornwall’s DIY scene and inspired by local historic spaces, their music fosters community and atmosphere, making Sleepover a powerful, immersive experience.
