discover: milo greene (not the monocle-wearing fictitious British man)

That dress is festival perfect
This is Milo Greene. 

They are a self-described cinematic-pop quintet with not one, not two, not even three, but FOUR lead singers. And a drummer. Their level of musical prowess just from knowing that alone, has to be astounding.

They are all multi-instrumentalists, except for their drummer who leaves the song-writing and major instrument playing to his band mates.



Milo Greene was the name of their fictional agent that they used to get into shows and stuff (genius). He was envisioned as a confident and charming British, monocle-wearing, three piece suit donning albino. They decided to keep the name for the group.
They have this dreamy sound that they created with movies and TV shows in mind (you know, all those songs you here during scenes of road trips or family moments montages or whatever) and they captured it perfectly. Now, whenever I watch some movies, I'm always thinking: this Milo Greene song would be perfect!

The first song of theirs I ever heard was '1957' (listen to it below) and it blew me away. Then I heard 'Autumn Tree' and then 'Don't You Give Up On Me', and that was it. I was so on the hook, the hook could barely hold me up.



The thing is, I've been a fan since before their debut album 'Milo Greene' came out, and times like that are diffcult for fans because YouTube and Soundcloud don't have enough material for you to sufficiently freak out over. Now though...there's an abundance.

Check out their short film 'Moddison' which was basically an anthology of all the music videos for songs from the 'Milo Greene' album, and also, their YouTube channel for music vids and stuff.

Control, their sophomore album, comes out today Jan. 27th 2015. Isn't that amazing?! You can order it on iTunes or on Amazon.
