History

Brettin grew up in the Midwest, playing flute in his school band. [2] He majored in jazz studies at Columbia College in Chicago, and started Mild High Club in 2013. [3] Brettin worked on Mild High Club's first album, Timeline , for almost three years until its release in 2015. [4]

His sophomore LP, Skiptracing , was released in 2016. Pitchfork reviewed the album, stating Skiptracing is an improvement from Timeline, where "a more confident artist emerges with a fuller vision and voice." [5] In 2017, Brettin was featured on the Tyler, the Creator song "Pothole", off of his 2017 album Flower Boy. [6] That same year, Brettin worked with the band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard to create their collaborative effort, Sketches of Brunswick East, [7] which was released on August 18, 2017.

On July 27, 2021, after nearly five years of inactivity, Mild High Club's new album was announced, titled Going, Going, Gone . This announcement was accompanied by a single from said album, "Me Myself and Dollar Hell". It was released on September 17, 2021. [8] "Homage", from the album Skiptracing, was certified Gold by the RIAA in 2022. [9]
