New Artist Alert - MILLIONYOUNG

Add another name to the growing list of so-called "glo-fi"/"chillgaze" artists making the rounds these days - Washed Out, Small Dogs, Neon Indian, Memory Tapes, etc. Florida native MillionYoung creates beautifully nostalgic songs that transport you into a bittersweet coastal fantasy. "Glo-fi" and "chillgaze" are both quite silly names, but whatever you want to call this genre of music, I'll take more please!

A second ep, Be So True is due January 19th on Arcade Sound Ltd.
