Our Take

MILES COOPER SEATON's latest offering, "Phases In Exile," is a rollercoaster of emotions and sonic experimentation that leaves listeners both bewildered and intrigued. The former frontman of Akron/Family ventures into uncharted territory with this solo album, showcasing his versatility as a musician and songwriter.

The album opens with the haunting track "Lost in the Evening," an atmospheric and ethereal journey through Seaton's introspective lyrics. The instrumentation is sparse yet effective, creating a sense of unease that lingers throughout the album.

Tracks like "Midnight Lines" and "Parallel in the Centre" showcase Seaton's ability to blend genres seamlessly, incorporating elements of folk, electronic, and experimental music. The result is a truly unique sound that is both familiar and alien at the same time.

However, "Phases In Exile" is not without its missteps. Some tracks feel overly indulgent, with Seaton losing himself in meandering melodies that fail to fully engage the listener. Despite this, the album as a whole is a captivating and ambitious effort that showcases Seaton's undeniable talent.

Overall, "Phases In Exile" is a challenging listen that rewards repeated listens. Miles Cooper Seaton has crafted a bold and adventurous album that pushes boundaries and defies categorisation. Love it or hate it, you can't deny the sheer audacity of his musical vision.

About the artist

Miles Cooper Seaton

Miles Cooper Seaton, the enigmatic frontman of Akron/Family turned solo artist, is a musical chameleon like no other. With a discography that's as eclectic as a thrift store find, Seaton masterfully weaves together elements of folk, psychedelia, and experimental rock to create a sound that's uniquely his own. Born and raised in rural Pennsylvania, Seaton's musical journey began at an early age, playing piano in his grandmother's dusty living room. Inspired by the likes of Neil Young, Nick Drake, and Pink Floyd, Seaton quickly developed a knack for crafting intricate melodies and poignant lyrics that cut straight to the heart. After forming Akron/Family in the early 2000s, Seaton spent over a decade touring the world and pushing the boundaries of indie rock. But it wasn't until the band went on hiatus in 2013 that Seaton truly came into his own as a solo artist. His debut album, "Phases in Exile", was a hauntingly beautiful exploration of loss, longing, and rebirth that resonated with audiences and critics alike. Since then, Seaton has continued to push himself creatively, releasing a string of boundary-pushing albums that defy easy categorization. From the hypnotic grooves of "Quilt" to the sprawling sonic landscapes of "Phases of the Night", Seaton's music is always full of surprises, keeping listeners on their toes and coming back for more. With his unmistakable voice, otherworldly lyrics, and fearless approach to genre-blending, Miles Cooper Seaton is a true musical maverick who never fails to surprise and delight. Keep an eye on this one, folks - he's just getting started.
