MILLY - "Bittersweet Mary"

“I think about death all the time.”

Almost ironic for someone called Brendan Dyer. Principal songwriter and singer of the indie rock, shoegaze band MILLY, Dyer lays his hushed vocals over a bed of heavy guitar riffs while singing about both love and death. In their freshly released third LP "Your Own Becoming" (Dangerbird Records, 2024), the LA-based rock band exploits the benefits of weekly hangouts and daily walks to create ten powerful tracks, fueled by the desire to use one's darkest thoughts as a productive means. "Bittersweet Mary" brings mystery and love in a haunting record.   

“This song was actually co-written in a song trade with my close friend, Dan Poppa (People I Love, Waveform*)" shares Dyer. “I ended up taking his song and changing up the lyrics and writing a whole second part. Bittersweet Mary was his title and it’s a song about mystery and magic and love and death. Yarden does his first ever scream at the end of the song before the guitar solo brings it all home. It’s a triumphant and powerful song — anthemic like the goal of a lot of these.”

Check it out now.
