Under Every Sky | Album | 2014 |
In an era defined by ‘theme’ bands recreating whichever period in history they missed, India Mill instead choose to anchor their inspiration around the guitar and wherever that takes them, rather than tread the waters of nostalgia; Whilst this can make ‘genre-tagging’ of the band difficult in an age when such labelling seems to be the order of the day, India Mill - with their leftfield, individual approach and everyman appeal - are serious contenders to create a new take on the forward-looking alternative-rock as pioneered by the likes of REM, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, U2, Radiohead and Oasis.
The first single, Caribesque - released in September 2014 - was described on the BBC Introducing Mixtape as “a psychedelic slice of existentialist angst” that combined the “introspective anxiety of Radiohead with the seismic swagger of Oasis”. Debut album Under Every Sky - released November 2014 - has been well received by magazines such as Artrocker, Buzzin Music, and Louder Than War: “India Mill seem to have avoided modern clichés like the plague. Resisting the urge to overuse certain production techniques and trademarks typically attributed to the current era, the band retains traditional values within their music. Under Every Sky reflects the vast eclectic mixture of classic rock influences the band knows well and loves; a solid yet melodic powerhouse of a record”.
