Drawing inspiration from the lo-fi rock of bands like Pavement and Sebadoh, LA-based alternative rock band Milly present the third single ahead of their expected debut full length. Marcy is a gritty rock track with a really strong nineties alt rock identity, fine lyrics, and a lot of drive.
“It started off with me learning how to play Trigger Cut by Pavement and I just stayed in that tuning”, explains Milly's main songwriter Brendan Dyer. “The guitar playing and overall feel is loosely inspired by Seam’s You’re Driving Me Crazy record and there’s definitely some Malkmus worship. Maybe some Sebadoh too. Living in LA can make you easily jaded for all the scenesters you run into at godforsaken bars and I was just tryna take the piss out on all the punishing conversations I've had to have. It’s LA and everyone is a smart guy (including myself, maybe).”
Marcy follows the recent singles Nullify and Illuminate. Eternal Ring will be out on September 30th, 2022 via Dangerbird Records, home to bands like Grandaddy and Swervedriver.
