Downers & Milk

INFOBOX

BIOGRAPHY

Downers & Milk are a 7-piece collective from Vienna with singer-songwriters Maxím Eczyk and Michael Varga at its core. Ignoring all zeitgeist and categories they create a timeless, handwrought soundtrack to the darker side of sensations, blending atmospheric Americana, lavish Chamber Pop and fierce Post-Punk into darkly radiant Folk Noir. Adorned with striking vocals, elegant arrangements evoke melancholy in Cinemascope and guide through musical landscapes of peers like Tindersticks, Calexico and Sparklehorse. After releasing their ZOZO EP as a duo, Downers & Milkhas now grown into a fully flegded band navigating from delicate elegies to powerful sonic howls, with strong hooks always on display. With current singles “Out Of The Dark”, „Borrowed Years“ and „Islands“, Downers & Milkreleased their first album „Songs of Fear and Flight“ on February 26th, 2021.
