So, I totally slept on these dudes in 2013, but 2014 is seeing me hit Jared & The Mill’s debut album, “Western Expansion”, super hard.
There’s an energy in this album that’s just simply irrepressible, particulary in the opening trio of tracks, “Breathe Me In”, “Returning Half” and “In our Youth”, which – as an album opening – is just crazy strong. The album may lose its way temporarily in the second half, but as a debut album, Western Expansion is really, really exciting. Get on these guys now.
