Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson

  • Miles_large

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. His recent 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.
