Jackson Mico Milas releases his enigmatic new single ‘Don’t You Think Of Me Once In A While’ today, the final single before the release of his debut solo album ‘Blu Terra’ on the Belgian label Apollo Records.
On ‘Don’t You Think Of Me Once In A While’ Milas carves out a laid-back, chilled atmosphere scattered with warming keys, glacial longing melodies and sprinkled with jazz influenced instrumental rhythms. To celebrate the release, we are debuting the inventive addictive, trippy video for the single below!
On ‘Don’t You Think Of Me Once In A While’, the former High High’s front man Jackson said, “Whenever I fall in love with an idea in the studio, I experience an almost physical sensation of a fresh breeze – it rolls in and it feels like a hint of spring after a long winter. I’m sure it’s different for everybody. When this song came together, it straight up felt like I was on holiday driving somewhere, gliding through the sunshine and everything was just fine.”
“Doesn’t matter what the emotion of the song is, I feel like I come up for air. These are the moments you strive for when creating, and whenever I listen to this song, I feel it again instantly. The lyric “the ocean is a wave come to wash us away” was a line I heard in an Agnes Varda documentary. It was something she wrote down in the 70’s, and unfortunately it couldn’t be more relevant today. Thank you to Robby Sinclair who sent a great drum recording from his home studio in Paris for this one”, he further explains.
London artist Jackson’s album ‘Blu Terra’ is out 11th Nov via Apollo Records, the home to ground-breaking talent such as Aphex Twin, Biosphere, Nadine Shah, Gigi Masin, Caberet Voltaire and he’s currently writing with Tim Minchin for the soundtrack to the new series of Sky Atlantic’s ‘Upright’.
