Milo Greene's Dark-Pop Makeover: Here's "White Lies"

Fans of Sade and MS MR get over here.

Do you guys remember that song "Crush" by Jennifer Paige? Something of a guilty pleasure, no? Well imagine if some melodic traces of that tune were reimagined with a pinch of MS MR, a smidge of Sade, and the slightest lilt of Jessie Ware, and you're coming close to Milo Greene's new track "White Lies," which is conveniently premiering with some visuals and lyrics above, in case you want to sing along, or, if you're pretending to work, you can listen to the soundcloud below.

Lifted from the LA-based quartet's forthcoming second album Control (out at the beginning of next year), this track is a leap and a bound and a shimmy away from their 2012 folk-tinged hit "1957." On this new record they've worked with Joey Waronker (drummer of Beck, R.E.M., and producer of countless others), while Jesse Shatkin (Sia, Foster The People, Ellie Goulding) stepped in on production duties. Phase two of Milo Greene soon to be in full efffect. Catch them on tour with British indie kids Bombay Bicycle Club this October.
