Howdy y’all,

Sadly I don’t have time to write a huge article here so will just give you some brief information. This is Miles’ self titled debut album. It was produced by Grizzly Bears Chris Taylor and also features Tv on the radios Kyp Malone.  Songs of drug abuse, redemption and I guess a little hope too,  I believe it was released in the staes last July on Say Hey Records but has only arrived here in the UK via Transgressive Records.  Some tracks are a full reverb folk rock and others are more stripped down to just an acoustic sound with Miles’ almost at times broken vocal being at the forefront of it all. From what I could find online about him it sounds like he’s crammed a fair bit into his young life and he himself admits if he’d carried on the way he was he would probably be dead by now. I’m glad he isn’t as this album is a great piece of work especially the opening track Buriedfed which you can see and hear on the youtube footage below.  The whole album has influences from Neil Young and his voice at times sounds remarkably like Micah P Hinson’s. This is my Bon Iver of 2009 and think it will be for a lot of people. Enjoy.
