Three years ago, you’d have hardly imagined Milo Greene could host a dance party in a sold-out concert hall, but that’s what the Los Angeles quintet did Thursday night at the El Rey Theatre, marrying the indie-pop on their new album “Control” with the pastoral material on their debut. Not that it was a delicate […]
It’d be so much easier if Milo Greene were a real person. You know, a guy with good taste in sweaters and books, just the right amount of chin hair, dark-eyed and slightly chiseled but with a crooked smile, bemused but not in a condescending way, with a quirky, engaging point of view.

Four songs have now been released from “Control” (out Jan. 27 via Elektra), revealing the band’s new electro-inspired direction. Three might be described as bedroom disco, propulsive nuggets that suggest […]
L.A. quintet Milo Greene are teasing their sophomore album “Control” by unveiling one song per month leading up to the Jan. 27 release, as if to gradually introduce the notion that their folk days are behind them. Their explorations in indie-pop find a sweeter spot – at least, sweeter than the first sampling – with “Lie […]
The U.K.’s Bombay Bicycle Club returned to Los Angeles to play a packed Wiltern on Friday night in support of their latest album “So Long, See You Tomorrow” (out nov via Vagrant). It was a night filled with genuinely anthemic pop songs such as “Shuffle,” “Home By Now,” “Always Like This”, “Luna” and even a […]
Milo Greene’s sparkling 2012 debut was notable for two qualities: an organic indie-pop feel that harked back to the folk-rockers of the 1970s and a distinctly democratic approach – i.e., principals Andrew Heringer, Marlana Sheetz, Robbie Arnett and Graham Fink, who are joined by drummer Curtis Marrero, traded vocal duties like appetizers at an office […]
