“AMNPLIFY PREMIERE”
.
Conceived whilst living through the military coup in Bangkok in 2014, Miles Recommends is the brain-child of singer/songwriting and production duo Des Atkinson and Lou Cadell.
Taking their moniker from their childhood video store clerk, Des and Lou (like the movies Miles recommended) defy genres through invoking a critical spirit in dissecting the social norms of today.
The new single ‘You’re Never Alone’ came about from watching the world happily skip into the anthropocene as vested interests continue to distort democratic institutions. Yet despite having the weight of the world’s problems on your shoulders, and knowing there’s no promise for a brighter future, it’s important to remember that, ‘You’re Never Alone’.
“The world is a crazy place at the moment and it’s hard not to feel disheartened and anxious about what’s happening. Climate change, the growing global disparity between the rich and poor, the weakening of democratic institutions, mass pollution – it’s overwhelming. You’re Never Alone Is that voice that says ‘I’m overwhelmed too, and whilst I can’t make it better for you, I am here with you.’”
– Lou Cadell (vocals)
With a pulsating urgency guided by yearning and soaring vocals, ‘You’re Never Alone’ takes the listener on a thrilling journey into the troubling unknown. This is the first single taken from the forthcoming debut album from Miles Recommends, Keep it Warm, due for release in early 2020.
Miles Recommends previous release was their successful debut EP ‘Extended Play’ in 2017. This EP enjoyed airplay support via the ABC and Community radio. In fact the debut single ‘Crazy House’ hit #19 on 4ZZZ’s Hot 100 for 2017! This coincided with them winning the National Oxjam Gig Contest 2017 and thus being sent as ambassadors to BIGSOUND 2017. Miles Recommends has now being bolstered by the Filipino rock god Ken Estioko.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
