October 28, 2020 For Immediate Release Rhye Announces New Album, Home, ​ ​ Out January 22nd on Loma Vista Recordings Watch Video For New Single, “Black Rain” ​ ​ (Photo Credit: Emma Marie Jenkinson) Rhye, the project of Los Angeles-based musician Michael Milosh, announces his new album, ​ ​ ​ Home, out January 22nd on Loma Vista Recordings, and shares the album’s lead single/video, ​ ​ ​ “Black Rain.” Following 2018's Blood, Home 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. A skittering movement within Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade served as inspiration for “Black ​ ​ Rain”’s almost ballet-esque and very Russian-sounding string arrangements and to imbue the song with a classic rock quality, he tracked the drums with a ’50s era three-piece Ludwig kit. “It ​ has this 80s version of disco, like the way Quincy Jones was interpreting disco,” Milosh explains. ​ The song is presented via a dance interpretation by the actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Tenet, ​ ​ ​ ​ Kickass), directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson. ​ ​ ​ 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 Genevieve Medow-Jenkins, he yearned for a more permanent space, a balm ​ ​ for the restless spirit and a place to simply be. ​ ​ Over the last two years, Milosh and Medow-Jenkins have produced a series of live events called Secular Sabbath, centered on consciousness-raising ambient music, meditation, massage and ​ community, recently broadcast from their actual home throughout the pandemic. Acting as a space for Milosh’s improvisational experimentation with voice and sound, Secular Sabbath in turn inspired much of the work on this new record, creating a fluid correlation between music and home. 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). ​ Milosh is a gear head with a carefully-curated arsenal of toys and sonic references. He’s honed his musical ideas and principles since childhood, when he studied cello under his father. “My ​ dad, a really sweet, gentle and inclusive guy, was into this idea of feeling something through playing just one note without a melody, that exchange of energy. We would talk about how music doesn’t mean anything if you can’t make the listener feel it.” Thus, every element of ​ Home is intentional and meant to reverberate on a higher extra-sensory plane. This attention to ​ detail is prominent throughout the new single, “Black Rain.” Previous single, “Helpless,” relays love in its most intimate and romantic form over slinky R&B ​ ​ pulses, while “My Heart Bleeds,” the last song written for the album, speaks to the collective ​ ​ pain of 2020, insisting “we’re not enemies” and “we’ve got to feel some change” over ruminative, gentle disco and open-hearted singing. The album is bookended by celestial cantos sung by the Danish National Girls’ Choir, who Rhye ​ ​ performed with at a landmark concert in Denmark in 2017. The choir flew to LA to record with him for one day. It’s reflective of Milosh’s own experiences singing in choir as a boy, his entry point to the path that has informed his distinctive vocals. “I'm always trying to always ​ accomplish musical goals that are connected to the way I listened to and interact with music as a child,” Milosh says. The sentiment also underscores a broader, less obvious, but no less ​ important theme echoed through his new record: No matter where life takes us, we can always go home.
