Phases In Exile

2017 release. Miles Cooper Seaton (formerly of Akron/Family) presents Phases In Exile. For over a decade Miles Cooper Seatons work has defied genre and discipline, spanning immersive ambient installations, intimate sets in sacred spaces and festival stages from Los Angeles to Tokyo - as a solo artist, with his own band Akron/Family and as a member of Michael Giras Angels of Light. Their common thread is the raw emotional charge that infuses every performance with incendiary energy, leaving listeners hyper-sensitized to their own feelings and bodies, to each other and to the world around them. This is music that I imagine many people listening to, on the train, eyes closed, trying to imagine theyre alone. In the car, in the morning, as dawn breaks; late at night, windows rolled down, wind rushing in. Its music for transient moments, liminal spaces, music for moving while sitting still. Its lonesome music. But it is not about running away or being defeated, although I had to do those things to get here. Phases In Exile is Miles Cooper Seatons love letter to music and community.
