Milo, they sent you home today
Suit and cuffs and everything
They drained your blood and flushed it away
Got a recording of when you started to sing
Celebrities get the nicest funerals
A shame we'll have to pull some strings for yours
Shouldn't have been filming films overseas
Shouldn't be singing to civilians on tours
They found you hung, lemon wedges at your feet
I found you young, soft shoeing on the streets
Milo amor
Milo au revoir.

Phil makes sometimes quiet, sometimes ear shattering, always pretty and dense records and this one is no different. As big as all outdoors and as small as a small wooden shack, as to be expected. al Riggs
Dance to this all night and then the morning and then the afternoon until your legs turn to noodles or the landlord starts a-knocking on your floor/their ceiling with a broom. Whichever happens first. al Riggs
Landlady live is a force of nature, on record they are just as gorgeous and anxious as they are in the Flesh World. More Nervous Energy for those who like tremendous drumming and proper earworms. al Riggs
The wonderfully understated folk songs on the new EP from Emma Geiger recall the best of The Softies and early Mary Lou Lord. Bandcamp New & Notable May 9, 2022
