I monitor the Scottish media for "The Man". In my spare time I make music for myself and anyone else who's interested. I have also written for Nude Magazine, the List, the Edinburgh Evening News, Is This Music? and The Skinny. For the latter I've interviewed Malcolm Middleton, James Yorkston, Regina Spektor, Steve Mason (The Beta Band, King Biscuit Time, The Black Affair), Paul Vickers (Dawn of the Replicants) and Andy Rourke (The Smiths). I was in the Edinburgh band Swivel Chair and I also record a-cappella anti-folk tunes under the name of Tantrum Man.Hear/download the Disassemble Me EP free from Last.FMOn I Spiralled Out of Control:

“..Part Ballboy, part Ma$e, speak-singing over bedroom beats. It’s the story of being flung into space, cast up and from Edinburgh, then back to earth, abruptly into death. Sci-fi synths that could fuel a chip fryer.” The Skinny

Also Available:

“I Ain’t Your Mailman”

“Milo sings it just right, part Mark E Smith and part Leadbelly, showing me the way that the blues has gotta be here, right here, and in this day and age. He's so frustrated that he can't help but laugh, that he can't help but go home and record a song. And the song: true and awesome.” Said The Gramophone

The debut EP ‘Whatever Happened to Your Sense of Humour?’

“the spitting sound of Arab Strap with an even darker sense of the bittersweet ridiculousness of life” The List
