Press Highlights: ‘Realities’

It’s already been well over a month since our new album 'Realities' was released, and we’re still incredibly happy with all the warm, enthusiastic and positive reactions we’ve received — from you, our listeners, as well as from the press.

Here’s a little selection of some of the wonderful things we’ve seen and read along the way.

Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm, your kind words and your continued support. It truly means a lot to us. 🖤🙏

• 🏆 ‘Album des Monats’
  - Sonic Seducer - September 2026
  
  
• 🏆 ‘Album des Monats’
  - Orkus – October/November 2026
  
  
• “In short: it is a fantastic album. A huge album in every sense. Listening to 'Realities' is like embarking on an incredible voyage of discovery through different worlds, where I constantly come across details that leave me amazed.”
  - Synth.nu 
  
  
• "This new album from Belgian mastermind Jan Dewulf aka Mildreda expands on the template set by his previous effort: impressive atmospheric, dark, electronic industrial with pummeling beats. This time around however, he has also moved into a more Vancouver-inspired sound, à la Dead When I Found Her."
  - Release Magazine (8/10) 
  
  
• "'Realities' is a monumental release that gets under your skin from start to finish and is brimming with tension. Dante’s Inferno on a dark electro drip!  A must-buy for anyone seeking the added value of dark electro!"
  - Dark Entries (9/10) 
  
  
• “Jan Dewulf has truly outdone himself, offering listeners an unparalleled experience defined by both complexity and efficiency. Mildreda delivers an expansive, detailed, and polished album where atmosphere takes center stage without losing sight of its danceable side.”
  - Side-Line (8,5/10) 
  
  
• “Conclusion: yes, Belgium still has electro greats. Mildreda is one of them. Conceptually, musically, lyrically. Raw and realistic. Thought-out and personal. Mildreda once again gives us an exceptionally strong album. Varied, musically broad, captivating…”
  - Peek-a-Boo Magazine (9,7/10) 
  
  
• “Realities resembles gossamer threaded with barbed wire. … Some of the harshest vocal passages are also the moments when he sounds most exposed, giving the record an emotional edge that pure brutality would not have achieved.”
  - ReGen Magazine

Project Pitchfork's 'The Refuge' - covered by Mildreda

People who have seen us live over the past few years may have caught us performing it on the occasional night: our cover of the rather obscure early Project Pitchfork track 'The Refuge'. Their music showed me that darkness can be deeply melodic, and that light often shines brightest when surrounded by shadows.

This cover is our way of saying thank you to a band that helped shape my musical world.

Virtual Goddess featuring Suicide Commando

We're excited to finally unleash our second single, 'Virtual Goddess', today.

We're also incredibly proud that Johan Van Roy of Suicide Commando is part of this adventure. Having his unmistakable voice on the track truly means a lot to us.

Lyrically, 'Virtual Goddess' explores the superficial nature of social media: the polished, pixel-perfect versions of ourselves we carefully construct, and the way genuine conversations are often reduced to a handful of emojis. It's about that strange contradiction—searching for depth while still chasing that tiny rush of happiness when someone leaves a heart on your post.

So this song isn't pointing fingers at anyone else. It's just as much a confession as it is a critique.
