Label: Spartan
Released 12/8/2023
Many moons ago, Joe Easley (drums) and Eric Axelson (bass) were in the Dismemberment Plan, and met Leigh Thompson (guitar), who was in the Vehicle Birth -- fourteen years later, and thanks to broadband, we now have Milliseconds. The DNA of the Dismemberment Plan, the Vehicle Birth, and Statehood are clearly present in So This Is How It Happens, but as a three-piece, part of the Milliseconds' journey was re-envisioning the sonic landscape -- trying to figure out how sonic space was filled or left open. A large portion of that experimentation took place during the production of the album with heralded producer J Robbins. Milliseconds evolved and grew organically over time, and as a result, the band's debut release covers a wide sonic territory swerving not only through the band members' previous projects, but also through the haunts of bands like the Replacements, Hot Snakes, and the Kinks.
