The recent overload of whiskey-soaked, cigarette-stained folkies notwithstanding, there's still something to be said for the virtues of darkly atmospheric Americana. And Oregon-bred, Brooklyn-incubated strummer Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson (he's not big on brevity) is hardly wanting for credibility. He might be a no-name right now, but his forthcoming debut was produced by Grizzly Bear's Chris Taylor and features Chris Bear, Daniel Rossen, and TV on the Radio's Kyp Malone. It's not surprising: Robinson borrows from his buddies' bands, building mid-tempo rockers around heavy strums, acoustic plucks, erratic yelps, and lyrics penetrating enough to strip the paint off a coffee-house wall.
