Imagine a flickering arcade in Brighton at 2am: music seeps from the speakers, boxy torn-cone distortion and octave-dropped vocals coalescing with synths that shimmer like neon through fog. It’s a collision of sugar and grit, blown-out pop songs echoing in empty halls. That’s Milo Korbenski, a figure as enigmatic as his sound, forever masked in white, crowned with a cowboy hat, wrapped in denim.
His third and final single from the upcoming album ‘Sex Angel’ - ‘Bedrock’ - shifts the pace into indie slacker-ballad territory.
“It was the last song I recorded for the album, over two consecutive days”, Korbenski explains. “After the first day of recording, I dreamed I was listening to the song, it was really strange, soupy, distorted, the vocals stretched and weird”.
“I woke up remembering that sound and wanted to get it on the track”, he goes on, “so I added synths, pushed the distortion, and shifted all the vocals down. I loved it, and it fit the glitchy, dusty feel of the other tracks on the record. The lyrics in the second verse are my favourite on the whole album. Tbh, I think it’s probably my favourite track”.
