goblinfriend Dream About The View is the perfect title for this dreamy, ethereal, nostalgic album. Mila Mila definitely wears their influences on their sleeve- 90's shoegaze, alt-country, ambient- but they manage to create an EP that is truly their own. Favorite track: David.

about

With its sharp musicianship and coolheaded demeanor, Dream About The View—the first EP by Portland’s Mila Mila—is the type of lo-fi find that justifies a hundred lesser Tascam dirges. Made up of established local instrumentalists from jazz, metal, and experimental backgrounds, Mila Mila transmutes the fire of their instant-cult-classic live performances into understated (but no less impressive) indie rock on this release. Dream About The View takes cues from a particularly ‘90s strain of slowcore and shoegaze, not to mention alt-country and Hole—Courtney Love gets a shout-out in the liner notes—but rather than just trying on retro aesthetics, Mila Mila manages to tap into the energy and melodicism that make them such enduring influences in the first place. Even across 5 songs, their range is evident: live favorite “David” features an instantly ingratiating twangy shout-along chorus, and “Rever” overlays Taz Coffey’s tripped-out autotuned vocals onto a slowcore chug that’d hold its own on (yup) Stratosphere. Shawn “Shag” Bolker’s razor-sharp drumming is particularly of note here, swinging effortlessly from propulsive flash to metronomic subtlety and back again. Coated in a layer of just-crunchy-enough production by Eli Sylla, Dream About The View offers the best aspects of moody nocturnal lo-fi while also acting as a showcase for, simply put, a real tight rock n' roll band.
