Mildfire is the reincarnation of Norwegian indie phenomena Einar Stray Orchestra. The crystal clear voice and cello sounds of Team Me’s Ofelia Ossum complimenting songwriter Einar Stray’s signature baritone and his first go with his sore and souly falsetto. Astrosaur’s Steinar Glas plays the bass and MesaVerde/Synne Sanden’s Lars Fremmerlid drums better than ever.

Their 2023 debut EP “Drinking Salt Water”, released on Sinnbus, is the lovechild of Steve Reich and Prince. A new shimmering take on indie art pop inspired by the likes of Dirty Projectors and Mew. The second EP “How To Be An Astronaut” wowed critics with its 12 minute long, 4 part train ride from tender piano creaks and electronic beats to prog rock explosions and a folky mandolin outro. With the atmospheric yet hardhitting “Shirin EP” now in the collection, the trilogy showcases the nordic pop hearts’ eclectic span and experimental lust. Mixed and co-produced by Øyvind Røsrud (Rumble In Rhodos, Hanne Kolstø).

The Oslo and Berlin based quartet has contributed to over 115 millions streams and hundreds of concerts internationally. Driven by the urge to touch hearts with their classical music inspired indie outfit. In addition to touring with everything from stoner rock bands to singer-songwriters, they are directing choirs, vinyl DJ-ing, working with theatre plays, and taking part in International collabs like with musician Ali Àit Zaouit in Morocco and Music Art Tabor in Bulgaria.
