Milosh

Sometimes there’s a good deal of ‘packaging’ that goes with certain records—the record company feels a need to hit you over the head with what that particular record is all about because you (the consumer) are not intelligent enough to figure it out on your own. Well Plug Research has continued to do this on behalf of Toronto’s now-budded abstract electronic musician Mike Milosh. Going under the name of simply Milosh, he has already released two well-received albums You Make Me Feel and Meme. As the biline goes, the debut album was all about finding love and the euphoria entailed with that, while Meme was about lost love and starting over. So what does Milosh say his new album is about? Well he spent the past year in Thailand, and iii is about isolation and being away from the people and the things you love.
Just because Milosh’s music is more abstract than the norm doesn’t mean that there’s pretense on iii. In fact, it’s the very opposite. iii feels all the more accessible and welcoming. Lush, warm tones seduce the listener, as Milosh’s unique vocal range flows effortlessly in the foreground. His past two records have shown an artist developing a distinguished other-wordly sound, and iii only cements Milosh’s reputation as one of the eminent electronic musicians making music right now. The bouncy synths are clean and crisp, and the percussions are catchy but not overwhelming–they ultimately create a dually disciplined and liberating atmosphere that indeed seems heaven sent. “Remember the Good Things” is a magical confluence of courageous melodies and vocals that will have you entranced. The softer “Another Day” has more of a lullaby feel to it in its own achingly sweet way. So be sure to check out iii!
