Milan W. – Leave Another Day
It’s easy to get lost in former Flying Horseman leader Milan Warmoeskerken’s fifth solo album. “I wait,” he sings in the opening track, and he sounds like he’s been sitting patiently among his expansive band, biding his time until you finally decided to hit play. The album is filled with three- and four-minute songs driven by undistorted guitar, echoed vocals, and a lackadaisical vibe that recalls David Roback’s work with Opal and Mazzy Star. These are pretty songs, but not gratuitously so. Milan understands how to evoke without overstating, crafting moments that linger, subtle yet profoundly delivered.
