With one look
I'll fall apart
I'll take the hook
Out of the shark
Devour me
Underneath
A little time
Not any luck
Talking secret
It's filling up
Stuck in a jar
You like the flame
To see it burn
Sky touches me
Dark underneath
Talking secret
Say what
Is going on
With you
Confusion
All around
about
“Talking Secret,” Milly’s A-side single for Dangerbird Records’ Microdose monthly music series, finds the band in peak form. A lurching drum beat sets the song into motion as Dyer’s voice rides along a tidal wave of fuzzed out guitars, gently uttering “With one look, I’ll fall apart. I’ll take the hook out of the shark.” Across its duration “Talking Secret” vacillates between torrential downpour and ominously restrained dirge, reminiscent of both the dense guitar landslides of classic Smashing Pumpkins and the creaking tension of Codeine.

It’s so hard to express in a mere 500 characters how much I love this album and how much it means to me. These songs have really gotten me through the toughest stuff I’ve gone through in a long time. Sometimes all we need is some empathy and “Deceiver” has done it’s fair share of that. “Horsehead” and “For The Guilty” especially… I say without a doubt, one of my favorite albums of all time. So excited to see what this band continues to whip up! Artistic ADHD

This album helped me through some major highs and lows over the last few years and I still don't think I've completely digested just how important it is. 10/10 - Masterpiece!!! Aaron Brown
