Mild Orange, “Freak in Me”

Mild Orange is four guys from New Zealand who met in college and formed the band in 2016. From Wikipedia:
Mild Orange originates from Dunedin, New Zealand. The band was originally formed by early childhood friends Josh Mehrtens and Josh Reid who met in kindergarten and by chance met again in university, and later joined by Tom Kelk and Jack Ferguson. All four members hold degrees from the University of Otago. [...] According to the band, the name Mild Orange was chosen because 'The colour orange can cause one to experience a heightened sense of optimism, a boost in aspiration, and a stimulation of warmth and happiness
Here they are live and acoustic. I like how they let the music “breathe” by leaving a little space between the notes.
