Bio of the Artist
There are layers to it all. Back in 2020, a hard drive containing 25+ mostly finished songs was corrupted damaging all the files inside. After numerous efforts to restore the files, nothing was recoverable and JD Laird was stuck with a decision; give up on the passion project that had taken him the last 3 years to build to that point or start again. This project was too important to hold back from the world so, he began to reconstruct all of the recorded parts from scratch. With a love for bands like M83, Tame Impala, and Radiohead, Millo is an exploration into the liminal spaces of reality attempting to find the depth in everything
About the Song
Deeply inspired by the sounds of Shoegaze and Drum & Bass, "Infrared" is all about a general dissatisfaction with the digital world we find ourselves in. We spend so much time building things in the digital world that we often forget to root ourselves back in the real world. “Infrared reality” is way of describing the things that are real in our world that we may not necessarily be able to see exisiting in a different spectrum. This song marks the 3rd single released by Millo and was mixed and mastered by legendary Tones Studios in our home city of Rochester, NY.
For Playlisters
This song is all about the dissatisfaction that comes with losing yourself in a fully digital reality. Millo, formed last year, is an Alt-Rock/Electronic project deeply inspired by liminal spaces. "Infrared" was really inspired by a deep love for Drum and Bass music but set with rock instrumentation. Mixed and mastered by legendary Tones Studios in our city of Rochester, NY, we know this track would be a perfect fit for ALT NOW, The New Alt, or New Noise playlists. "Infrared reality no more" ✌️
JD explains the inspiration for the song
“Infrared” is all about my frustration in how much of my currently reality takes place online. I get so caught up in distracting myself with endless scrolling through content of no value to my current life and it ends up numbing my creativity and my overall satisfaction at life. When I sing the lyric “this can’t be my home”, I am not talking about my physical home but rather the feeling that the place that we find ourselves spending so much of our lives these days is synthetic, algorithmic, and a distraction from the things in life I find deeply important and beautiful. My hope for listeners of this track is that they feel seen in their own dissatisfaction for the digital life they find themselves in and that they seek out true beauty in meaning in their own lives in things offline.”
