Milo Greene

Milo Greene is a folk-pop group from Los Angeles, California. The group was originally centered around lead single and only female, Mariana Sheetz, though bandmembers share lead and background vocal tasks. They were formed in California around 2009, and the group included Sheetz, Robbie Arnett, and Andrew Heringer. The group later moved to LA and added Graham Fink and percussionist Curtis Marrero. They released their first self-titled album in 2012. They also released a single in September of 2014.

This group has a very chill, relaxed, acoustic sound. However, they keep their works original through unusual harmonies and oddly morbidly cheery tunes that make you lean in and think, "Huh!". Definitely my kind of music. They also sometimes incorporate more indie-pop influences into some of their songs, such as White Lies. They definitely cover multiple genres with their music, the ties between them being Sheetz's floaty voice and her higher range. However, some of their newer songs do seem to be leaner less acoustic and more towards the indie side. These kind of changes are not to be helped, most bands change their sound over time. Both are distinguishable from your everyday tunes, however, with the high-low harmonies. In almost every song, there's Sheetz's higher voice layered over one of the boy's lower ranges. Usually, they aren't even harmonies, just octaves. Very unusual, and it created a unique sound that is hard to find elsewhere.
