The Millennial Club and the hypnotic broken romance of "sleepless"

 









"it's too loud now / wanna come down / you never liked being high, anyway / cutting through crowds / trying to stand out / that’s a turn off anyway..."


The at once hypnotic and melancholy "sleepless" wraps around you in a circular way lulling you into a state of sleep walking with sonic bear traps along the way. The pulsating trip hop beats, the comfortably heavy synth shapes might crush your emotional shell like a beer can if you are in that kind of vulnerable headspace. 

Southern California The Millennial Club is an indie avant pop / R&B band that is not afraid to mix genres and vibes in a way that casts neon walls against deep shadows. Even as I get lost in the beats and warm grand allure my mind touches on everything from boy bands, to emo, to the Cocteau Twins to P.M. Dawn and to when I saw Thom Yorke and Nigel Godrich (Tomorrow's Modern Boxes Tour) in Atlanta a few years ago. Please don't ask me why. 

FYI: As press notey stuff reveal- [The group was formed when singer/guitarist Andres Owens was joined by bassist/keyboardist, Jared Ortiz, in late 2016, later adding guitarist/saxophonist Jake Stevenson.]

I think that Andres and the boys might be old souls, the kind that steep in romance and love whether broken or lost. The dreamy lowercase "sleepless" is from The Millennial Club's "When It’s Just You & I" EP.

So-Cal based The Millennial Club is an indie pop and R&B outfit who at a very young age, have managed to blend dance-inspired 80’s pop, beat-driven 90’s R&B, and emotional love-centered lyricism to mold their unique Southern California sound. The group was formed when singer/guitarist Andres Owens was joined by bassist/keyboardist Jared Ortiz in late 2016, later adding guitarist/saxophonist Jake Stevenson and drummer Tyler Kamei. They find inspiration in a wide range of artists including Coldplay, Bombay Bicycle Club, St. Lucia, and The 1975. To date, the band has opened for Charlotte Lawrence and Katelyn Tarver and has played House of Blues Anaheim, The Satellite, The Study, FIESTAS Music & Arts Festival, and Summerlands Festival.
