Someone e-mailed me this video for Dog in the Burning Building –
by this musician named Miles
Kurosky. I loved the music and creativity that came with the
mixed media animation so much that I decided that I had to get in
touch with this guy and talk about it. So I did, click here to listen to the interview on the podcast. (Also on itunes) And by doing so I learned he
used to be the frontman for the band Beulah,
(still not sure how to pronounce it). I’ve since listened to
Beulah but prefer the
music Miles is currently making now. His sound is definitely his
own in the recently released “Desert
Of Shallow Effects” but also echoing similarities with Elliot
Smith, Bright Eyes, Eels, Spoon, and Rivers Cuomo to name a few.
For a debut solo album, its very solid with smooth changes and
diverse sounds that work well with each other. I definitely
recommend it and look forward to hearing it live at the Tractor Tavern
on April 10th.
Check out Miles’ list of favorite movies from the 70’s.
Listen to the interview on The Weekly Diversion.
