Name:

MiLO

Bio:

MiLO is a band emerging from the Los Angeles downtown artist scene. Their separate elements strangely mold themselves onto the feel-good synapses of the listener. With the writing team of Swedish composer Mikael Sandgren and Jamaican/American singer Lola Gayle, the outcome is much different than even they had originally thought. Theirs is a kind of music blending Nordic melancholy progressions with pop melodies, unique odd meter beats, vintage Blue Note era vocals and gritty arrangements. Their sound can be described as “dirty-pretty”. Both were classically trained starting at an early age, and Mikael was also mentored by Ghana ’s Obilie Koffie at 14. MiLO’s lyrics are cryptic and poetic. After a few listens they unravel into emotional statements about human frailty and beauty – the futility but ultimate victory of the human endeavor." ++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Natasha Desianto - Campus Circle - " MiLO embodies metamorphosis, chrysalis tossed aside, stretching out those beautiful and shimmering, world-worn and tattered, dirty-pretty wings "
