I don't know if I have Mumford & Sons to thank, but to whatever forces have come to bring folk pop and multi-part harmonies to the forefront of indie music, it pleases me no end. Milo Greene is one of the latest to tickle my eardrums. The LA quintet has signed to Chop Shop, the label started by well-known music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas, who is known for her keen ear in discovering the next big thing. I think you should trust that Milo Greene are going to live up to that expectation.
