Myles from Home Shares New Single ‘Dusty Lavender’
Hailing from Canada, Myles from Home is back with their brand-new single ‘Dusty Lavender’ infused with a folk-rock vibe and an anthemic chorus that will capture the listeners’ attention from the very first note.
Under the direction of the musical genius Myles Hildebrand, Myles from Home is the newest amalgam of jazz and funk-infused rock. Myles from Home infuses rock and roll with new life, drawing inspiration from the colourful worlds of funk and jazz. Their sound explores diverse genres, infused with mellow folk-pop and sorrowful lyrics.
‘Dusty Lavender’ has a groovy production with guitar, bass guitar, drums, organ, and harmonica. The exceptional vocals are filled with passion and emotion with a heartfelt delivery.
Like many of their songs, Myles wrote the guitar part while sitting on his balcony in Vancouver, Canada, looking out over the Pacific Ocean. After the music was written, the inspiration for the lyrics came much later. “I was having a laugh with a lady I was madly in love with and joked I was going to write a song about all the hippie-witchy stuff she was into and call it Dusty Lavender”. Months after she left, I actually did write the song.”
On the song, Myles from Home comments, “Some people are into astrology, some are into astronomy. Some people worship the moon, some people design rockets to go there. This song is about loving someone with a different worldview and the struggle to keep an open mind and truly understand them. The simple structure is built around an anthemic sing-along chorus with a briefly mathy harmonica solo. The chorus asks a series of questions and the song concludes with the only logical solution – “I will always love you”. We all love a Dusty.”
Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
