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.

Not gonna lie, I've listened to this album more than 100 times in the past 6 months (early 2021). Pretty much have in on repeat all the time. Very rarely do I encounter an production that resonates so well with me. The overdrive tones and studio production are next level. Post-punk vibes are insane. Love the wailing vibrato. Highly recommend. adam_z
Meticulously-crafted productions provide the backdrop for haunting, slowly-winding vocals on this gloriously shadowy EP. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 19, 2017
Searching, anthemic post-rock centered around turbulent crescendos and mournful vocal melodies, with tasteful, proggy touches. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 14, 2019

An ecstatic mix of everything cool: Krautrock, Shoegaze, Indie Rock, Noise, as well as an endless abundance of melodies and riffs that have worked their way into my brain ceaselessly over the last few months. One of 2020's standout LPs. Admo
