about

As Milieu reaches its 9th year as a project, what better way to celebrate but with a brand new record? Academy Stripes is Milieu's 36th full-length album of original material, and the first at Recycled Plastics. So what should you expect to hear? A colorful assortment of happy-sad melodies in about a dozen different flavors, cast like a sunbeam over energetic drum machine programming and funky bass that floats elegantly like sex in space. The trademark attributes of the Milieu sound are still there - lots of creative detuning, analog signal processing and a focus on psychedelics that should bring a smile to just about anyone. Carefree feel-good music is complemented by elements of dualities (or maybe even stripes) that are noticeable in both the music and the track titles. Right on time for the Summer, released on Brian's 30th birthday, and ready to lovingly caress large and small speakers everywhere.
