Gloomy but hysterically funny Goth-Americana from Atlanta's twisted troubador. Semi-acoustic tales laced with viola, blues harp, church organ and the occasional distortion pedal.
Editorial review
On his second album, Darkside of the Rumours, Milo continues where he left off, singing off-kilter, jokey, and bizarre songs such as the gloomy, morose "Happy World" and the hilarious country sendup "Jesus Loves Me Why Can't You?" This time out, the D.I.Y. production is better -- clearer, warmer, and richer. Milo's resonant voice serves him well on the many country-flavored tunes like "Work." "Subway Girl" apparently derives inspiration from the Violent Femmes. In all, Darkside of the Rumours is a scattered affair but an improvement over the debut: it's eclectic, parodic, occasionally obnoxious, grotesquely maudlin, and frequently downright funny. ~ Jim Esch, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
"Atlanta singer-songwriter Milo traffics in humor of a duskier hue than his nearest musical relative, Jonathan Richman. His varied sound has occasional country-fried flavorings but also hints at Violent Femmes and organ-drenched prog rock of turn-of-the-'70s Canterbury, England." -- ATLANTA JOURNAL CONSTITUTION
"On his second album Darkside of the Rumours, Milo continues where he left off, singing off-kilter, jokey, and bizarre songs, such as the gloomy, morose Happy World and the hilarious country sendup Jesus Loves Me, (Why Can't You?). It's eclectic, parodic, occasionally obnoxious, grotesquely maudlin, and frequently downright funny. "-- ALL MUSIC GUIDE"
As with his last album, the variety of styles is quite amazing, and that's what I find most refreshing: the man does what he wants, not what he's told! The added bonus of backing female vocals and the odd violin (especially on Misery) all add to make a most accomplished album. -- MODERN DANCE
"Gloomy tunes indeed.
