"His melodic, anthemic songs will send a shiver of pleasure zipping up your spine..." - Sunday Times
“...one of the most important burgeoning talents on the indie scene.” - The Vinyl District
Humphrey Miles (pronounced "Mills") returned to the music scene last year with the free track ‘Breathe’ followed by the single Not Enough. With coverage on NME.com, Artrocker, Contactmusic.com, a UK tour with Michele Stodart (The Magic Numbers) and a stunning session with Daytrotter, the video received over a million views within a month. Now Humphrey is ready to tackle 2013 head on with the double a-side single Save Me / Tall Stories out on June 3rd, followed by his latest album Tall Stories due for release on 24th June 2013.
Save Me / Tall Stories is available to stream now via Humphrey's Soundcloud page.
The video for Not Enough is available to watch via Humphrey's YouTube channel.
Tall Stories is the sound of an accomplished songwriter and one who is honest and emotionally in tune. Opening with ‘Would’ve Known’, Milles throws us straight into his world with crescendoing melodies and an epic chorus as he calls out “at least I know I’m not alone”. ‘Save Me’ is a complete change of pace, taking on a rockier element not dissimilar to The Stereophonics. ‘Tall Stories’ is epic, sonically vast and rich. Here, you get an insight into Milles’s honesty as he pierces through the gaze of modern life, the rat race and human nature. The latter half of Tall Stories is more introspective and slower songs such as ‘It’s Alright Now’ display Milles’ talent as not only a songwriter but a musician as his vocals ache over a simple piano.
Humphrey is no stranger to the scene, he has previously shared the stage with the late Amy Winehouse, KT Tunstall, The Magic Numbers, Snow Patrol and the talented, Mercury nominated Ed Harcourt. Most recently he embarked upon a UK tour with Michele Stodart, hitting venues and regional radio stations up and down the country from Yorkshire FM to BBC Radio Ulster, which led to him being picked up by national radio - BBC 6Music’s Chris Hawkins especially championed the single Not Enough.
Humphrey Milles: ‘Not Enough’ single out now!
After recently releasing free MP3 "Breathe", Humphrey Milles (pronounced "Mills") presents his latest single Not Enough, out now!
"Not Enough" is up now on Humphrey's YouTube channel.
The single is also available as a stream on Humphrey's Soundcloud page.
Humphrey recently completed a tour with The Magic Numbers' Michele Stodart, a daily tour diary is available to read on Artrocker's website.
Humphrey also found time to stop by the Daytrotter studios recently and record a wonderful four track session. You can listen to the full session on the Daytrotter website.
The aforementioned free track,"Breathe" was also accompanied by a gorgeous acoustic version on video. You can watch it now on Humphrey's YouTube channel.
"Breathe" is available as a free download on Humphrey's Soundcloud page.
Humphrey has jostled for his place in the UK music scene now for a few years - having previously shared the stage with the late Amy Winehouse, KT Tunstall, The Magic Numbers, Snow Patrol and the talented, Mercury nominated Ed Harcourt - then followed a dark and turbulent period, with a soured record deal and an important relationship break-up, which slowed this climb. But Humphrey is now back, and back with a vengeance. "Breathe" was just a taster of what's to come with the single "Not Enough" showcasing his talent for writing for writing huge, heartfelt songs.
These tough few years, combined with a surfing and writing sabbatical in Costa Rica, have resulted in the birth of an Ed Harcourt produced album of sheer beauty, raw pain and elegance, with poignant, heartfelt and thought provoking lyrics.
Having contributed some characteristically strong and subtle guitar work, Harcourt said "I was really flattered when he asked me to work with him, and I am really happy to see that this album is finished and ready for your ears. Humphrey writes songs that are crammed full of the catchiest melodies, the most infectious hooks and lyrical twists and deserves to be No 1 across the globe, if there is any justice."
Humphrey's album, Tall Stories, will be out next year.
