about

In exaltation of Spring, a new Milieu album becomes manifest. Anticipating the colorful blooms and exploding green from inside the bitter end of a very cold Ohio Winter, THALLINE DRESS offers a vibrant tableaux of melodic considerations to contrast against my chilly basement studio.

Like the precedent BLURRY THURSDAY in many ways, THALLINE DRESS revisits much slower tempos that recall the very early days of Milieu, and remodels them in more modern portraiture with FM synthesizers like the Yamaha TX81Z and the Volca FM, cruising alongside analog staples like my ARP Odyssey, Korg MS-20 and Behringer's MS-1 (a cheap evocation of Rolands SH-101). The focus here is on ritualistically calling Persephone herself back into the world, beckoning her to crawl out of the ravine behind the White Pillar Workshop and breathe the first breath of new life into the '21 year.

Spring has always been the most violent of seasons, brute-forcing expansion and overgrowth that ends only when the cold wind begins to blow through the valley again. THALLINE DRESS attempts to crystallize these visions of sun-kissed rebirth and renewal within a very Milieu palette, and as usual, I can never quite tell you what the next Milieu album will sound like until it actually happens. Here you will hear impulses firing and paths being re-tread, it's the same but it's different, just like always. As verbose as these scripts have become, I still feel horribly unequipped to define my work in tangible terms. It is my sincere hope that these rogue ladies in their green-blue robes conjure up beautiful visions for your ears and mind's eye within these recordings, potent and immutable sad magic as old as the Earth itself.
