Artist description Milt, existing since June 1997, create versatile and keen on experimenting something, that could be described as pop music knowing no bounds. Characteristic for the band's style is the interplay of melancholy and pure energy, formed by original part singing. The mixture of modern drum-grooves, rough guitars, catching basslines and exotic violin-, keyboard-, synthesizer- and sampler sounds gives variety to the songs, which are said to be absolutely haunting!
