New
EP ‘Nine Lives, Six Degrees’ out June 22
In a history spanning less than 18
months, Brisbane 4-piece Millions
have been unearthed by triple j, played at 2011's Splendour In The Grass
festival, shared the stage with the likes of Unknown Mortal Orchestra, The
Grates, Bluejuice, Bleeding Knees Club and completed extensive national tours alongside
Gold Fields, Nantes and Northeast Party House.
Millions kicked off 2012 in fine
form, with a performance at Brisbane's No Years Festival, followed by a killer
set at the Gold Coast leg of the Big Day Out. All this supported by three dynamic
songs "Those Girls", "Guru" and "Slow Burner" at triple
j and public radio alike.
The new EP ‘Nine Lives, Six Degrees’ features all three songs plus an extra
two brand new tunes. Recorded at Sydney's BJB Studios, the EP was produced by
Matt Lovell (Eskimo Joe) and mixed by Scott Horscroft (Silverchair, Birds Of
Tokyo).
“It’s really
exciting to be working with Millions and I couldn’t be happier that they are
joining our local roster”, says Stop Start head Andy Bryan. “I love the songs
they’ve delivered thus far, this debut EP is just a taste of what is to come.
There is an aesthetic and energy about the music and it just feels like they
are a band of the future both in Australia and overseas.”
Millions prepare
to head out on their own national headline tour this July to celebrate the
release of ‘Nine Lives, Six Degrees’. It'll take a nation of millions to hold them
back!

Praise for Millions...
"Very tidy
swagger, guys! Thoroughly charming." - Zan Rowe
(Triple J)
"There's no
half-assed indie-pop here, these guys are a tight-knit, talented bunch of
musicians." - FasterLouder
"This is very much
a guitar band primed to win the hearts and minds of the indie crowd - think of
the place that lies between Arctic Monkeys and The Walkmen, and you'll probably
find these guys milling around there." - Killing Moon
(UK)
