Milquetoast and Co. Releasing Dreamlike EP The Land of Milquebelieve, Accompanying Lyric Video
Art rock/Americana group Milquetoast and Co. has released its lucid dream of an EP, The Land of Milquebelieve. It is joined by a nostalgic lyric video for the fevered track "Bomb Song," an explosive exploration of the warring elements of loneliness, human connection and the weirdness of the world.
DENVER, July 13, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Land of Milquebelieve is a journey through a universe filled with disorienting dreams and granulated patterns. Co-produced by Warren Amerman (Rotary Records) and multi-instrumentalist, "Restless" James McAndrew. The album also features the talents of Joe Mageary (Bass), Francis "Panama" Quinn (percussion), Robin Ryczek (cello) and Bill Whitney (horns/guitar). Amplified by complex vibrant instrumental layers and contagious energy, this EP captures the experience of Milquetoast and Co's live show.
While traveling through the six songs of the EP, the listener will get sucked into whirling dervishes before finding themselves in a smoky Chicago after-hours club only to go home in a runaway train down a mountainside … all the while getting the sense that they were somehow in all three places at once.
Milquetoast and Co. burst forth from the adventures and fortunate misfortunes of vocalist, songwriter Restless James. Mingling high-intensity elements of Americana, rock and jazz with a touch of the pomp and pageantry of James' personal blend of artsy hauteur. The project's distinctive sound features electric guitars, accordion, horns, cello, drums and when the time is just right, a belligerent visitation of kazoos. James' bittersweet, whip-smart lyrics appear from a seemingly infinite thought vortex. A soundtrack of commiseration, glimmering hope and genuine wonder for life's lovers and lovers of life. The project's rotating cast of talented supporting players range from autodidacts and nomads to classically trained musicians and Ivy League-trained scientists; all lend a vibrant spirit of improvisation, thoughtfulness and surprise to Milquetoast and Co's work.
The Land of Milquebelieve is a slick re-release of songs from the vault of the project's front man Restless James. It also serves as a prologue to the group's upcoming all-new music, to be revealed later this summer.
