FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LOS ANGELES, CA (TUESDAY AUGUST 20, 2024) – Milo Binder, the enigmatic & “lost” Los Angeles troubadour confirmed new LA tour dates this month and in October in support of his sophomore album The Unspeakable Milo Binder on Heyday Again via Real Gone Records, 33 years after his debut album.

Confirmed Los Angeles tour dates Include:

Additional tour dates will be confirmed shortly.

The Unspeakable Milo Bonder was produced, arranged, performed by multi-instrumentalist Willie Aron (Thee Holy Brothers (featuring Marvin Etzioni of Lone Justice), Balancing Act), the new album also includes bassist/guitarist Victor Krummenacher (Camper Van Beethoven, The Third Mind) plus drummer Kevin Jarvis (Brian Wilson, Elvis Costello, Lucinda Williams, Harry Dean Stanton). That brings us to today, and The Unspeakable Milo Binder, the album that stands before you now.  Why the return?

“I just woke up one day and realized that nothing was stopping me anymore,” said Milo Binder. “Traumas had healed, my family was secure, and suddenly, songs started coming to me again.”

Milo’s musical journey begins as a song-obsessed kid who falls under the spell of his era’s great singer-songwriters and he lives and breathes songwriting for his entire youth.  He eventually writes his own bag of memorable songs and makes a name for himself in post-punk Los Angeles.  His reputation spreads quickly, garnering him press in the form of pictures and column inches in local and national publications; inclusion on a few high-profile compilation albums; and eventually a critically-admired 1991 self-titled debut album.

His debut album was released on the San Francisco-based Alias Records, with guest performances by Garth Hudson (The Band), Victoria Williams, and “Sneaky Pete” Kleinow (The Flying Burrito Brothers). Then inexplicably… Milo Binder (given name Todd Lawrence) disappeared for 33 years.

Cut to 33 years later and as luck would have it, Pat Thomas’ new record company Heyday Again (a reboot of Alias’s 1990s era San Francisco crosstown rival Heyday Records) was itself also in the process of re-emerging.  So, it seemed like a perfect match for both label and artist to do so together.

Milo Binder is still song-obsessed.  He has made a new ship-in-a-bottle, and it is a good one.  It was made with love and care for whomever appreciates such things.
