One day as my sister and I were driving home, coasting down a big hill while the sun set in front of us, I put on the song “1957” by Milo Greene. I sang along quietly, as did she, and when the song finished I commented on how much I loved it. She said to me “Yeah me too; I actually went to Sugarloaf (a fine arts camp) with someone who was in that band!” Well, needless to say I was flabbergasted. So, when I saw that Milo Greene was coming to Seattle, I knew I had to go.
Adult Contemporary is characterized by its exceptional euphony. In skill, it effortlessly mingles sounds. In intent, it envelops itself in harmonies. In spirit, it has the beguiling ability to disarm listeners. That’s why L.A.’s Milo Greene, the always-evolving indie-pop band, chose the genre as its muse. Toeing a line between emotional intensity and light-hearted humor is important to Milo Greene. Their first, self-titled album exploded onto the indie scene in 2012, and fans haven’t been able to get enough since.
The band became known for their signature walls of vocal harmonies, nostalgic lyrics, and haunting soundscapes. In the years that followed their first album, they toured internationally, featuring at festivals like Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza, as well as performances on Letterman, Leno, and Conan. Their sophomore LP, Control, was released in 2015, followed by their Never Ender EP in early 2017. They recently finished their third studio album—Adult Contemporary—in Nashville with Bill Reynolds, which will be released by Nettwerk Music Group September 7th, 2018. Singles “Be Good to Me” and “Move” out now ahead of the LP.
Milo Greene is coming to The Crocodile on Saturday, November 10th. The show starts at 8:00 PM with a performance by Charley Dam. Tickets can be found here! Connect with Milo Greene on Facebook, Instagram, or on their website.
