New Music Initiative 046; Wymond Miles/The Fresh & Onlys
Some of you have lamented that there's no new music out there. I am here to help solve that issue. Look for a handful of bands to be posted here soon.
If you are one of those looking for new music, I need only point you to Sacred Bones Records- an incredible record label that seems to have their hand on the pulse of the best new music.
While the idea of buying the artists of a certain record label seem like an idea that went away with Netscape and Friends, you will have to trust me on this one.
Sacred Bones gave us Crystal Stilts (on their way to become one of this decade's best bands) and two artists that made my "Best of 2011" list - Slug guts (the last in a great lineage of Aussie sleaze-core bands) and The Men (a band who embraces No wave as well as noise's Goo/Green Mind/ Doolittle's heyday). On this year's Open Your Heart, the Men are making a lot of best-of lists already, by marrying their love for NYC noise with their inner Westerberg.
One of Sacred Bones's newest artist is Wymond Miles.
Miles plays the kind of psychedelic rock that I can't get enough of (and oddly, I don't spend that much time around pharmaceuticals.)
Spin lets you stream the album here.
I sense a lot of Bowie-style prog, but you can also find a bit of the Cure's gothier moments and a bit of Nikki Sudden's heroin chic.
This song is pretty amazing as his most of the album.
Along the way researching Miles, I figured I ahd to check out the band he used to play in , the San Fran-based The Fresh and Onlys.
They have a new album on the horizon, and although I am not sure if they are now Miles-less (I don't think so, but I could be wrong), it gives some good psychedelia as well (with indie pop appeal, think Dandy Warhols) .
