The world portrayed in Deadmalls and Nightfalls is a land purely of frontman/multi-instrumentalist Matthew Milia’s creation: a landscape populated with the memories of the strip mall stretches and Michigan roadways of his youth, aided by the instrumentation of David Winston Jones, Zachary Nichols, and Ryan Etzcorn. The former college friends use traditional instrumentals – banjo, pedal steel, harmonium, bellows, mandolin and guitars - as well as the occasional horn flourishes and Hammond organ, to adorn these stark travelogues and twilit tales. Milia’s vocals are unadorned and honest, the songs haunting and spare, with an eye for detail and place that’s uncanny and haunting.
