MILK / CASHBOX MAGAZINE

Here they are, the rolling people and they are alive and well with Milk. Recalling the greatness of late era Verve and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Milk stand tall in the long lineage of bands both British and American alike to take the 90’s shoegaze movement to rockier heights. Hailing from Los Angeles, this five piece took their album all over the world, first recording parts in Liverpool as well as promoting the album in mainland Europe. Milk newest release was helmed by recording engineer Fran Ashcroft who had previously worked with Gorillaz and The Dandy Warhols. The result is dead on.

Opening track Fly rips the album open, setting the tone for the rest of the affair. Fly walks the thin line between parallel thought and imitation to the Verve’s Urban Hymns. So, check them out!

Settling the mood down after the album’s first two rollicking tracks, Monochrome sets the band into more melodic territory. Being the first song that the lyrics are put up front, it shows off the vocalist’s talents as a singer as well as a lyricist. Monochrome is definitely a mix tape must. As a compliment and a complaint, Monochrome seems ready for prime time TV or to be included on the soundtrack for a motion picture. Each song on Milk unravels to reveal a new level of greatness to the bands sound. After Monochrome, Milk moves away from the hazy fog of a shoe gaze sound and continues their Brit-Pop curiosities with Parallels. The fifth track, Perverse now lets the beautifully delayed guitar lead come to the forefront, sound like Pink Floyd meets The Farm’s Groovy Train. Again, the song is another hit right on target.

The playing is perfect, as is the arrangement. Their musical charm escapes this album 100% in tact and there is much to look forward to from this up and coming band.
