Australian-born, London-based songwriter, producer and composer Jackson Mico Milas, who rose to prominence with indie pop outfit the HIGH HIGHS and as a composer of numerous TV and film scores including Tim Minchin’s acclaimed Sky Atlantic drama Upright, will release his debut solo EP on 7^th August.

First single “For Every Coast” is out now, exploring the warmth of a relationship and the coldness of distance. The music video will follow in due course.

The 4-track EP documents Milas’s journey as a musician and composer, focusing thematically on displacement and loneliness.  Having settled in different cities around the world, he felt it should reflect a sense of isolation that he’d felt in each city, focusing on the fact that this forced him to collaborate remotely with friends and musicians across the globe; something that is becoming increasingly more prevalent.  

Having explored a myriad of genres throughout his career, including with the indie-pop outfit the HIGH HIGHS, which saw him tour internationally with the likes of Vampire Weekend and Empire Of The Sun, and as an award-winning composer of film and TV scores, Milas is now delving into his most intimate styling yet with the For Every Coast EP – an accomplished 4-track collection that blends acoustic, alt-folk and jazz.
