We’re super excited to share our latest episode featuring Brendan Dyer and Yarden Erez of Milly!
Their 2024 record, "Your Own Becoming," released on June 28, has been one of my most anticipated albums this year for me, especially after the single "Drip From the Fountain" dropped. This album is easily in my top 5 for 2024!
The band started crafting this masterpiece on a New Year’s Day when Brendan decided it was time to make a record. It was a coming together moment where they realized that they needed to go hard on the new songs. They poured their hearts into the songs, meeting three times a week and pushing their creative limits. This album marks a comeback for Brendan, who wasn’t entirely happy with their first full-length album.
In this episode, we dive into some cool stories behind the songs - especially a fun fact about one of the songs coming their way in a trade from waveform*. Also, "Drip From the Fountain" almost didn’t make it onto the record after they were told it didn't have the juice? It eventually became the first single released leading into the record.
This podcast had a different start to it where we used a lightening round of questions to learn about the background of the group. We had silly questions like most meaningful band tee they own and superstitions amongst the group (like the amazing response Brendan gives - *cough* Panda Express *cough cough*). But, there are also questions that allow us to learn about how the band formed and the journey leading up to this most recent release. There's also a fun conversation about some of the tours they are tagging along for such as Basement, Fiddlehead, and Balance and Composure.
