Details:
Two years have passed since Blake Miller’s debut release “Together with Cats” earned the then 19-year-old a 7.4 rating from Pitchfork, and commendations such as, “these songs sound way beyond his limited years” by PopMatters, as well as reviews from publications such as Alternative Press, Silent Uproar, and more. Comparisons at the time ranged from Devendra Banhart, Grizzly Bear, Ron Sexsmith, and the gamut in between.
In the interim two years Blake Miller has continued to record songs at a frightening pace---primarily alone and in his bedroom---all the while honing a more distinctive and personal style that is becoming all the more difficult to compare to other musicians. More than his unique falsetto (at times approximating Tim Buckley), multi-tracked vocals, use of “found sounds,” and unique instrumentation, it is Blake’s ability to surprise the listener with the direction and structure that the songs take that make him an anomaly in an indie world that is all too often predictable. Rather than proceeding from A to B to C as most songwriters would, Blake will take you from A to 12 to Z to B to 3!
“Burn Tape” is a document of Blake’s development over the past two years and his relocation to Portland, Oregon from Columbus, Ohio; and marks the first installment of frequent cassette / digital releases from Blake Miller. Suggested tracks to start:
“Long Hair” – Perhaps the most playful song on the album with slide whistle and references to “Pink Floyd T-Shirt’s,” Blake still manages to make daily observations seem profound and timeless.
“In the Danger” – Starting off as a quite sounding folk number, the song quickly turns into a dichotomously upbeat and mournful song of longing for better times.
“The Rain” - This dark sounding, Thom Yorke-esque number recorded in an empty church hall, finds Blake exploring with ambient sounds, percussion, and a creepy old organ.
“Burn Tape” is being released on limited edition Cassette with digital download code, and limited edition, hand screened CD, and of course digitally.
