Response to Mild tracks anything by mild
The music videos for pop band Mild’s new songs “Dee Tor Jai” (“To Get Her”) and “Over” have become popular because their stories are so touching, as well as interrelated. Fans are going crazy sharing the videos directed by Bin Buamuenchol.
“The number of views on YouTube has been steadily increasing,” says grateful saxophonist Paisit “Pae” Khamklin. “I also sang on Mild’s ‘Master Peace’ album, but this is the first time I’ve handled the promotion too.
“Thanks to all the fans for listening to our songs and watching the videos,” says guitarist Gent “Tao” Manopinwes. “Every Mild album has to have a song sung by me and the song must be simple and different from the typical Mild sound.”
