I always find comfort in the enveloping melancholy that The Milling Gowns dispense. Friday night at TT’s was no exception.
Birthday shenanigans continued at O’Brien’s with The Milling Gowns.
OK, that sounds a little weird, but The Milling Gowns’ compelling, darkness-cloaked post-punk fit right into the night’s festivities.
Sometimes music is an escape. Other times it matches exactly how you feel. Last Thursday evening at TT’s was the latter. Future Carnivores were releasing their new album. I was running late. It was starting to rain. I arrived during The Milling Gowns’ set and was quickly enveloped by their gloomy pop. The darkness settled in. They understood.
The Milling Gowns just put me on notice. I caught them for the first time earlier this year when they won over a Radio crowd. I enjoyed that set. The band’s set at TT’s last week was something else entirely. It was vital. There was urgency. The Milling Gowns are building toward something big. Let’s see how this plays out.
The Milling Gowns’ post-punk aesthetic was warmly received by the Radio audience on a cold Friday night. The growing crowd was drawn in by echos of Joy Division and The Cure. Their set kicked off Artificial Night #1, a celebration of the new releases from Parlour Bells and Lifestyle.
