Millsted

Millsted is breathing new air with their second full length album The

Great Adventures of the Gold Red Rocket. The band’s ambition and

sound have finally caught up to one another, having courted surf rock,

tinges of 60’s soul and dashed it with their controlled noise forte to

produce a sonically explosive record that will leave your central

nervous system heightened and your heart fluttering from its bombast.

The band has crafted its most mature work to date, etching lucid piano

driven triumphs “Belgium” and “The New Japan”, all the while tearing

the skies open and searching for danceable lighting on tracks “ The

Gold Red Rocket” and “Coffins of Love”, all of which have been stamped

with crafty vocal sweets.

The band has set leaner melodies to meander over the potency of the

rhythm section’s new found less-is-more-is-better mentality. The

guitars on The Gold Red Rocket have also become a seamless one-two

punch of raucous hooks and twitch happy riffs, nothing short of

entertaining and clever.

The band’s sound has shifted in scope and dynamic as well as their

writing, echoing Sgt. Pepper-esque grandiose scheme incorporating horn

sections and focused conceptual ideas. If London Calling was the last

important rock record to be released, then The Gold Red Rocket will at

least make rock music viable once more. Nothing short of fresh and

clever, The Adventures of the Gold Red Rocket will leave you in awe,

it will leave you intrigued and it will leave you wanting more. Look

for the album release in the fall of 2009.

Liner Notes: Back in 2004 when guitarist Chris Carambot and vocalist Kelvin Uffré became disenchanted with current projects, they banded together to form Millsted. Originating out of the Bronx underground hardcore/metal scene, they quickly distanced themselves as new noise. They recorded their first self-titled EP, Millsted, and took to the road establishing brutal hardcore with spacey bombast. While going through multiple line-up changes Millsted went into the studio to record their second EP, Brief Case, all the while maturing to lush guitar structures and crooning vocal melodies. Standout tracks The Culprit, 10:43 and Flux all insinuated that this was a new Millsted with a taste for the epic. With a record release pending, the band managed to solidify its members when they added drummer, Peter Belloli, guitarist Robert Dumé and bassist Samuel Fernandez. Introducing brooding low frequency swagger with newly established twin guitar ice pick like riffs, the band forged new and old with its familiar vocal crooning sweets and drum assault of the bands core, to create Millsted’s distinct sound. That distinct sound would end up on their full-length album, Umm… Yea., where tracks El Delve and Dirty Elvis stand by the band’s rhetoric of indie and swagger, heavy and sweet.
