Offbeat Americana that will have you asking, "Is it time for Milo's medication or mine?"
Bio / Background
SPLENDED E-ZINE SAYS:
Milo's medication isn't working. It says so right on the CD. Oh, wait, that's a song title, not part of Milo the bio. Never mind.Anyway, whatever drugs Milo is taking, he should keep it up.
Smell the Parade is one of the most enjoyably weird listening experiences I've had in ages. This lo-fi songwriter's album is original, yet rife with references.
Musically, Milo flits from hitting on the Death by Chocolate girl ("Minimalist") to trying on hair-metal spandex ("Mirko's Car"), to trading sordid memories with Willie Nelson ("Open Mind Open Sores") to making faces at the Magnetic Fields ("New Panties").
Milo's voice and accompaniment are perfectly adequate, but what you really want to hear about on this disc are the lyrics, which are extremely sophisticated in an expectation-busting kind of way.
For instance, "Roach Under Glass" is exactly what it sounds like -- a song about a captured bug. Yet somehow, it turns into a hymn to universal love.
