Exploding In Sound Records has had quite an eventful year thus far, between Pile having a song premiered on NPR, to their EIS Tape Club. The second installment of this year’s tape club is from the Chicago-based band Milked, with their first “official” album, Death On Mars, up for pre-order now.

After Geronimo! (Kelly Johnson’s former band) split up in 2015, he began Milked, resulting in him self-releasing basement demos and garage rock experiments on his Bandcamp page. Death On Mars was written back in 2015, in the wake of the Geronimo! split, and was recorded from the summer of 2015 to the fall of 2016. Recording with Nicholas Papaleo, he also worked with Matt Schwerin, one of his former bandmates, along with Troubled Hubble’s Andrew and Nate Lantrhum.

Death On Mars is set to be released this Friday, June 30th. It’s full of fuzzy indie rock that revolves around a loose theme: searching for a new home in the vastness of outer space, with all the exciting feelings that come alongside that. Feelings of loneliness, nostalgia, reflection, as well as melancholy contentment are explored in this truly cosmic piece, which we’re excited to premiere today.
