Mike Milosh's style branched off from the same limb that grew The Postal Service, Junior Boys, and Jamie Liddel. Its the reimagined sound of soul in a digital realm. Where every I love you is sliced, dissected and recombined to electronically wring feeling from voices that may not have reached such depths otherwise. Carving out his place in this sound, Milosh hardly ever raises his voice above a whisper or his beats above 80 bpm, but he still manages to make it rain in this quiet storm. Micro snaps and stutters leave plenty of room for his phrasing to waltz all over the tracks. He always sings like he's on one knee and this earnest approach makes potentially boring moments warmly heartfelt instead.
The track below for download, "Its Over", is from his 2006 album Meme. Almost over before it starts, I can listen to this song all day and never get bored. A perfect example of his simple appeal, its nearly begging for the movie soundtrack treatment. Zack Braff I'm looking at you. The video is for the song "You Make Me Feel" from 2004's You Make Me Feel. In a super inventive move, this video actually changes every time you watch it based on your local weather. The youtube clip is just one static take, for your own original version click here.
