The First Miles
are Jeppe Foldager Toft-vocal, guitar, harmonica: Rasmus Ottosen-guitar,
backing vocals:Jesper Bach Christensen-bass:Adam Buus- drums, percussion
& Jakob Birkedal-piano, organ, keyboards In the cut ‘You
Draw The Light” , the band exudes a sorrowful & melancholy air of introspective
reflection. This song's melodic mid tempo texture , is a shining example
of solid compositional nuance & a dynamic building arrangement. The overall
impression of this tune serves as a fine showcase of The First Miles music
“It’s Never Enough”
is another altruistic foray of electric piano & lyrical spin. It’s deliberate
Lo-Fi approach offers a contrasting texture & approach to their other
pieces In the song
“I Waited” , one is treated to an atmospheric mixture of acoustic rock
balladry melded with alternative folk/new country. Something that Springsteen's
Nebraska period would have done nicely with as a rootsy cut that stands
in it’s own right “When I Get
Over That Hill” is a standout rock song augmented with Hammond & slide
guitar flourishes. An echo of the Wallflowers marry the Goo Goo Dolls
permeate the proceedings The First Miles
have a sincere AAA quality to their muse , that is at once fresh & mature
in perspective. It’s musical balance exceeds that of many other young
bands , because The First Miles do not rely on pretension. They take their
musical stand on a warm & vulnerable quality that projects their natural
charm |
