January 7, 2021 For Immediate Release Rhye Releases New Single/Video, “Come in Closer” New Album, Home, Out January 22nd on Loma Vista Recordings (Photo Credit: Emma Marie Jenkinson) Rhye, the project of Los Angeles-based musician Michael Milosh, releases a new single/video, “Come in Closer,” from his forthcoming album, Home, out January 22nd on Loma Vista Recordings. As presented on previous singles “Black Rain,” “Beautiful,” and “Helpless,” every element of Home is intentional and meant to reverberate on a higher extra-sensory plane. This sense of purpose is just as clear on “Come in Closer,” which unfurls with ambient sounds from a rainstorm that descended upon his home studio in Topanga during tracking. Thematically, “Come in Closer” presents how “as relationships deepen and you invite someone into your world, your life, your home, layers of appreciation, vulnerability, and patience reveal themselves,” whether it be a romantic relationship as in the song or a relationship between siblings as in the video. Directed by Milosh and Genevieve Medow-Jenkins and shot in Big Sur, the video presents siblings “living without fear or inhibition, wild with the joy of simply being.” Watch Rhye’s Video for “Come in Closer” (“Come In Closer” still) Since the release of Rhye’s 2013 debut Woman, Milosh mostly lived on the road, playing up to one hundred shows a year and decamping in Toronto, Montreal, Thailand, the Netherlands, Germany and Los Angeles. On the heels of some major life changes, including a new relationship with Medow-Jenkins, he yearned for a more permanent space, a balm for the restless spirit and a place to simply be. Home, the follow-up to 2018’s Blood, is centered around the idea of home as the core of creativity and community. It’s familiar in its synthesis of propulsive beats, orchestral flourishes, piano ruminations and sultry, gender-nonconforming vocals, but never have they sounded more cohesive or alive. Written throughout 2019 and early 2020, Home was recorded at United Recording Studios, Revival at The Complex (Earth, Wind, & Fire), as well as Milosh’s home studio, and mixed by Alan Moulder (Nine Inch Nails, Interpol, My Bloody Valentine). The album features the Danish National Girls’ Choir, who Rhye performed with at a landmark concert in Denmark in 2017. Recently, Milosh and SG Lewis collaborated on “Time,” “an exuberant classically-minded club track” (FADER). It was written at Milosh’s home studio and inspired by a Topanga Canyon sunset.

The pandemic made Michael Milosh think about his artistic motivations, and he channeled that energy into a calming music video" — Vanity Fair "[‘Beautiful’] starts with a throb of strings before cohering around a sharp beat and muscular bass line, distantly echoing solo Bryan Ferry tracks from the early Eighties.” - Rolling Stone “[‘Black Rain’ is] a slinky, lithe track” - Stereogum “‘Black Rain’ is versatile and intriguing, blending subtle synths, steady beats and Milosh’s lustrous vocals.” - Paste “‘Helpless’ shows the potential for how fleshed-out and impressive his quarantine output can be.” - Uproxx Download cover art & hi-res images of Rhye (Home Cover Artwork) Artist Site | Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | Loma Vista Recordings For more information, contact: Jessica Linker | Pitch Perfect PR – [email protected], 773-942-6954 Sam McAllister | Pitch Perfect PR – [email protected], 651-528-3577 ## .
