‘Buriedfed’ is taken from this 25 year old’s debut album out now on Transgressive records. The man of many names, Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson hails from Brooklyn and although his album does feature cameos from some key players in the Brooklyn scene (namely Chris Taylor Of Grizzly Bear andKyp Malone of TV On The Radio), he has very much his own voice.

It’s a bluesy, anguished voice but that’s somehow reassuring and uplifting at the same time perhaps much in the same way as that of another world weary youngster, Micah PHinson . ‘Buriedfed’ starts as a gloriously simple down beat example of Miles’ melancholy songwriting with voice and plucked guitar to which gets added haunting backing vocals, a simple driving drum beat and slide guitar as the song progresses. The final result is a rich textured song carried along with Miles’ exclaiming ‘Make someone else feel dirty instead’ and ‘Believe me I wish I were dead’.
