Thanks Samantha (you can’t go wrong with SC)! I got a text a few hours later saying “Tor says he loves you”, so essentially I think we’re getting married but I’m trying to play it cool. Like, probably not joking but not something I would say to his face, for fear of him taking it as an admission of being a stalker instead of “your music is the best how is it real”. Last week he was in Toronto for a promo tour and I told my friend to let him know that I love him.
I’m not sure if I can accurately describe it myself, so you’ll have to listen to the music above and see what I mean. I put “Headlights” on my iPod, it came on while I was driving and I nearly swerved right off the road. Um….that voice is far more than just indie pop. When I first heard people talking about him back in January (sliding that in there so you know I’ve been driving the bandwagon), I listened thinking it was going to be “indie pop” as advertised on his Wikipedia page. If I had to pick a similar artist, I couldn’t…the closest I can get is that his entire EP sounds like “ These Four Words” by The Maine. That is a high compliment. If you’ve only heard one song of his, it’s most likely his new single Carter & Cash (it was Zane Lowe’s #WorldRecord on September 28, kind of a big deal).
This week, I bring you something completely different. The sophomore album, Surviving the Suburbs, was released in September 2018.Last week, I brought you 7 Minutes In Heaven. His debut record, American English, followed in September 2016. His first release was in February 2015 with the Headlights EP, containing four tracks, including the positively reviewed “Midnight”. Miller was signed to the independent label, Glassnote Records in early 2014 and subsequently dropped out from NYU due to scheduling problems.
When he was 18 years old, Miller attended the Clive Davis School of Recorded Music at the New York University and spent his weekends playing piano at places such as Rockwood Music Hall, The Bitter End, and Slipper Room, a burlesque bar in the East Village. From there, Miller started to develop singing and songwriting talents, starting a pop-punk band during high school. He started to play piano after his parents set up a lesson with a teacher who he said to be “a laid-back New Jersey wedding singer”. Tor Miller (born February 7, 1994) is an American indie pop singer from Brooklyn, New York City.
