The band is made up of four friends - Josh Mehrtens, Josh Reid, Tom Kelk and Jack Ferguson - who met while studying in Dunedin in 2016. 

They recently returned to New Zealand after touring their latest album Looking for Space overseas. Before relocating to London, they play us a live session.

Mild Orange played:

'Mysight'

'What's Your Fire?'

'The Time of Our Lives':  "It's about the time of my life - in Japan, just going round and making friends. Nothing else to do really but enjoy and see things, learn a lot" - Josh Mehrtens

'Freak In Me': "It's one of those songs that has changed meaning for me over time. I do quite enjoy how text can be living. Initially, you'll pick up on what it means on the surface. Now it's really turned into being about how music allows us this space where we can express ourselves differently to how we would in everyday life i guess and it can be quite an escape. And thank you to all the lovely humans around the world who join us doing that."
