Phase is the debut studio album by Australian psychedelic jazz fusion group, Mildlife.
[4] Kitty Empire from Rolling Stone Australia said "Mildlife's debut album, Phase, falls just on the right side of the line dividing smug progressive fusions a la the Alan Parsons Project from questing psych-disco-jazz, the kind that wouldn't sound wrong supporting Tame Impala on tour.
"[5] Philip Wilding from Louder Sound said "Mildlife make music that made this writer want to transform his living room into a haven of shagpile carpet, with some sort of seat that looks like a bowl that hangs from the ceiling on a chain.
Listening to Phase can do that to you, with its undulating, cultured synth patterns and loose, jazzy grooves with splashes of psych rock and funk.
"[6] Dummy Mag said "A melting pot of musical sensations, the group combine progressive 1970s sounds with electronic krautrock, backed by a mixture of rhythmic funk, house, and dream-pop, to create an addictive atmosphere that's illustrated perfectly by their first single 'The Magnificent Moon'.
