This bedroom-fi analog approach resulted in something both classically lush and intimately raw at once. Each track began with Milia on guitar and Ben Collins on drums, playing live in the room together. From there, they divided a small galaxy of overdub responsibilities between themselves evenly—mellotron, pedal steel, Hammond organ, cello, mandolin, and horns being a few of the textures wrangled in giddy, all-night sessions. Coupled with vocal layers verging on Big Star grandeur, the most poignant aspect of the musicality's sweetness is the foil it serves to Milia's vocabulary of domestic American heaviness—a world of decaying suburban landscapes and the desperate hope still residing therein. At its core is a set of finely honed songs—a dense but deliberate catalog where memory is obsessed upon. A cast of waitresses,  youth soccer coaches, grandparents, and young lovers occupying the ailing station wagons and birthday banquet halls in which these songs reside. Milia sings about real human beings in all of their glorious mundanity. Perhaps he is singing there alone, in St. Hugo, the Catholic grade school he attended from K-8. The way a selection of our memories will ring forever in some evacuated mental building, lights-out in endless night. But through it all, a wry sense of humor winks its way through the pathos, atop chord changes displaying a level of precision and classic craft uncommon to the habits of today's songwriters.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"main-container col1-layout\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"main container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"inner-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-main\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-view nested-container\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Product\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"box-additional grid12-9\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"box-collateral collateral-container box-tabs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-tabs\" class=\"gen-tabs gen-tabs--style1 gen-tabs--style1-small\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tabs-panels\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlive at the Same Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePuncture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCongratulations Honey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSometimes I Feel Like My Arm's Falling Off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttention Students\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwollen Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchemer Abruptly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOld and Caffeinated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy Is It?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKaren's Just a Kid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"postscript\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"main-bottom-container\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Matthew Milia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54271887376495,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/2723\/4159\/files\/Alone-Cassette-Small.jpg?v=1789140859"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.portmerch.com\/collections\/matthew-milia.oembed","provider":"Port Merchandise","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
