Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson Summer of Fear (Vinyl)
Release Date: November 24, 2009
Label: Saddle Creek
Summer of Fear is the culmination of years spent in eight-track studios, cypher-fueled jam sessions, and dicey club dates that often ended in fist fights and broken glass. Not to mention a revolving door of collaborators that helped Robinson work out the kinks in his skewed pop hooks and melancholic melodies, including the Grizzly Bear members (drummer Christopher Bear, multi-instrumentalist/producer Chris Taylor) who worked on Robinson's self-titled solo disc several winters ago... the winter before the fear set in.
"He is, in my opinion, without a contemporary rival when it comes to story telling." - Kyp Malone (TV on the Radio)
