Space Discovery: Miles East
Hello Space Travellers,
Today we are extremely excited to present you this incredible music project called Miles East.
For those who don’t know this phenomenal artist, Miles East is an indie musician known for his evocative blend of acoustic and pop/soft rock music. With a knack for crafting soulful, introspective melodies, Miles has captured our hearts straight away with his latest album “Between Lightning and Thunder”, which showcases his evolution as a compelling and relatable voice in modern music.
With Rolling Stone giving it a thumbs up for its “relentless writing and production,” and over 300,000 streams on his singles before the full release, it’s clear that Miles did a full strike with this project.
Let’s talk about the album now: a masterpiece that opens with “Better than here”, an inviting track that mixes acoustic warmth with a touch of melancholic vibes. It’s the perfect soundtrack for those long, reflective drives. You can feel the Beck influence here, a bit like being wrapped in a cozy blanket on a rainy day.
Next up is “All hands on deck”, a song that’s all about capturing fleeting moments. The rhythm of the drums adds a raw edge, blending beautifully with East’s soothing vocals. It’s the kind of tune that sticks with you, long after the music stops!
“Lying down” shifts gears, bringing in a soft and appealing triplet rhythm, almost like a ballad. This one’s for the late evenings alone in the garden, contemplating your existence, and thinking about life. You can feel that melancholic vibe that everyone needs once in a while!
We are now diving into the middle of the album, with “Lucky to be here tonight”, where uplifting melodies will let us cheer up the great moments of life and let us appreciate the little things: it’s like a slow dance in the moonlight with the stars dancing around us! There’s an ethereal quality to the tune that makes you want to hit repeat and just float away in its dreaminess. A great switch-up in mood just at the right time, making this album extremely smooth and easy to follow up!
The album keeps going with its dreamy vibes and brings a mix of emotions that soothe our thoughts with Miles’s incredible voice and his appalling talent to craft music like this.
As you near the end, “Song of Hope” offers a calm, almost meditative respite. It’s like the musical equivalent of sitting by the ocean at sunset – peaceful, reflective, and utterly captivating!
The album closes with “All I Need”, a fitting finale that leaves you with a sense of hope and possibility, and also a bit of a nostalgic feeling.
We think that “Between Lightning and Thunder” is more than just an album; it’s an emotional journey, crafted with care and passion. Miles East has delivered a collection that’s perfect for chilling out, hitting the road, or just getting lost in thought. If you haven’t given it a spin yet, do yourself a favor and dive in, it’s a trip you won’t regret.
