"cemented feet in an evening stroll..."
"Vigilant when sober" by London / Leeds UK based WhoBodyHow has so many sonic reflective surfaces and like a house of mirrors each time you gaze at the sonic imagery you see new perspectives. These reflections about front person vocalist / guitarist Milo Pilkington Massey's move through trauma "dancing to the sorrows that have surpassed and made you stronger" are expressed via dreamy picking guitar movements and at first a beautiful walking bass line and chill snappy drum beat beneath Milo's evocative vox with deep accent in tow. The sensory experience is dark jazz infused lounge punk and it sounds so utterly surprising. What is also startling is the shift to hard edge alt rock sandwiched between post punk atmospheres and 90's grunge ferality. It works so amazingly well and along with bassist Layla Narramore and drummer Fin Randle the multi-genre'd distillation born out of psych rock, ska and jazz influences suck you in quickly. There is so much cookie cutter alt rock out in today's landscape and this is NOT that.

WhoBodyHow is the project started by Milo Pilkington Massey, an eclectic take on a refined 60s rock. Growing up in the outskirts of London, Milo explores the dream-state paranoia of the intense city life. A remark on existing to exist, Vigilant when sober is the first single of the project which wishes to overcome emotion into a state of self improvement. It is essentially an Alt-rock Punk opera in 5 minutes, with each movement telling a different part of the story. Our sound is both a collage of terrific influences and something else entirely on it's own.
