New London based alternative folk/rock songwriter Will Miles releases his highly anticipated debut double A side single Shallow Water / Angela, on the 26th of November via new grassroots label Wildheart Records. A strong believer in the DIY ethos the single will be available as a limited run CD with handmade sleeves and alongside digital download.
‘Shallow Water’ is an Americana drenched foot stomper swelling with dirty electric and slide guitars echoing the likes of Van Morrison, Neil Young and Dylan. Double A-side ‘Angela’ staggers mournfully with haunting harmonica, mandolin and piano washing poignantly around Miles’ introspective lyrics. “They’re sister tracks, written at the same time, one is about awakening, the other, solace”, says Miles.
Although only a new boy on the scene Will has already the likes of producer Pedro Ferreira (The Darkness, Joe Strummer & the Mescalero’s) offer production services but decided to self produce with his band. Live, he has been busy catching the attention of London’s White Heat Club, Club Fandango, Symptomatic and Soul Food at Proud, where he has played sold out shows. With a recent support slot for Pete Doherty and slots at Cambridge Folk Festival, Uncivilization Festival, and two of Miles’ demo’s being handpicked to be used in a short film for the BFI by upcoming director Christian Solimeno, the buzz sound Will Miles looks only set to build.
