The four voices of Milo Greene cinematically weave into one, with the breadth of an omniscient, collective consciousness. The melodies invoke long drives down the California coast, with the feeling of leaving home. There is something meditative about these songs. The lyrics are vague enough to be questioned, yet specific enough to conjure certain smells, tastes and feelings. Guitar lines swell and recede as ocean waves would. An underlying dissonance can be sensed thru the seemingly pretty exterior; a tension can be found in passing tones that invoke jazz harmony and the sense of waiting for something really big to happen. It is the perspective of someone looking back on life or a lost love or youth looking forward.

The music evokes images of The Sublime, as the 19th century giants of music and art understood it, like standing on the precipice of a fantastic view and being engulfed and overcome by the absolute awe of the natural beauty of the world. When the songs reach their closing, the listener is like a dreamer slowly waking. This feeling, in essence, is Milo Greene.

Milo Greene is from Los Angeles and is comprised of four principle members: Robbie Arnett, Andrew Heringer, Marlana Sheetz and Graham Fink.
