Despite a multitude of releases already out on labels such as u-cover and
experimedia, Songs We Found In The Sand was the second full album produced
by Milieu. After meeting through a chance encounter in the magical land of
the internet, he offered the release to us with the warning, i know it
sounds a little dated, ill understand if you dont want it, seriously.
Luckily, here at Rope Swing Cities were more concerned with the quality
of music then worrying if our artists are cutting themselves on the
bleeding edge electronic music. What we discovered upon listening, is a
wonderfully moving, emotional album, filled with simple, enchanting drum
patterns and haunting synth lines. Needless to say, we enthusiastically
told him that wed love to release it.
As we spoke further with Milieu regarding the music on this release, an
interesting fact about his production work came out that answered some
questions we had about the sound of his music: initially all of his
samples, keyboards, guitar and drums are recorded to tape and then
transferred to the computer for arranging and looping. After the track is
built its sent back to tape, then to the computer again for final
mastering. This incorporation of such a loved analog medium helped explain
to us the warmth and depth of sound found in this release. In his own
words, I still think it sounds better on cassette though.
On this album, Milieus music brings up intense feelings of nostalgia. The
beauty of it, is that it doesnt attempt to guide your inner exploration.
Whether youre reminded of fond memories from childhood; running through
sprinklers, basking in the warmth of the sun. Or if youre looking at your
past for closure on the darker moments that have plagued you for some
time, Songs We Found In The Sand is the perfect accompaniment on your
journeys.
