Fresh Millions

It's been a long journey for songwriter and electronics aficionado Geoff Earle, from his early days as a pop producer, to his frustrations with Columbia Records, to his eventual formation of the live electronic band Fresh Millions. After much time spent at the drawing board, the release of Fresh Millions' self-titled debut album proves to be well worth the wait. Fresh Millions also marks the first foray into electronic music for producer Bryan Richie, of Austin's The Sword.

Using computers, synthesizers, live instruments, and more cables than Earle cares to count, Fresh Millions blends disco-era bass lines and electro-era pop synthesizers with heavy, danceable beats. The result is one of the most intriguing blend of genre's to date. While the group often draws comparisons to Caribou, Yeasayer, Passion Pit and Ratatat, their music remains unmistakable for anything but itself. With a new album, a new lineup, and one of the most exciting live shows around, Fresh Millions is poised to take a running leap into your ears and never come back out.

Fresh Millions will release their self-titled album on Friday May 7 at a free concert, set to take place at East Austin's Scoot Inn. They will be joined by Focus Group, who will be debuting their Unicornography EP, No Mas Bodas, and Insect Records founder Butcher Bear. Fresh Millions will be released the same day by Insect Records.
