Artist Description
“Brooklyn's four-named young wonder makes eccentrically electric psych-folk that comes with a little bit of twang, a little bit of the blues, and a little bit of bar-band rhythm and booze. There's a swagger in Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson's songs that makes one ponder if he just might be a rock star one day soon.”–Oh My Rockness
24 year-old Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson is Brooklyn’s best-kept secret. Since recording an album with Grizzly Bear’s Chris Taylor and Chris Bear in 2006 (with appearances by Kyp Malone of TV on the Radio and Grizzly Bear’s Daniel Rossen), Miles has garnered a following at his transcendent live performances. With the addition and solidification of his backing band, the Black Boys, Miles’ folk rock has taken a turn toward the anthemic stylings of Fleetwood Mac, Bell Biv Devoe, and early Pavement. The total effect integrates the album’s intimate sounds with that of several bands he led during the past decade. The new line-up is already hard at work on follow-up, "Summer of Fear".
