Roy in the UK/British Radio Personality: “This off-the-grid band has dashed out of the starting gate with a bloody “Sergeant Pepper!”

Ray White/National Radio Personality: "I open mail everyday at my radio station waiting for that unexpected gem to drop in my lap. Old Sand Mill's new disc is just such a beauty! I've listened to it six times, and I'm just now starting to hear all that's going on. OSM chooses swimming upstream & doing it their way. I am very impressed. WOW!”

The Music Connection wrote: “If you dig Crosby, Stills & Nash, Donovan, Yes, Pink Floyd, The Beach Boys, and Simon & Garfunkel, with a dash of Beck and Radiohead, then you will dig Old Sand Mill’s debut work, ‘The World Is Getting Colder.’ This well-produced album pays homage to a wide range of classic and contemporary influences and dares to move effortlessly from one genre to another, with fun and intriguing original tunes penned by singer/songwriter and longtime film and music video director Chip Miller, along with his decades younger band mate, Janaki, a multi-talented musician and composer. They are joined by some incredible, well known backing musicians, and numerous guest artists like the iconic Brian Wilson, as well as multi-Grammy winners Jerry Douglas (Alison Krauss & Union Station), Darryl Jones of The Rolling Stones, r&b legend Deneice Williams, the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra, and many more. This one’s worth the journey, people. It’s like going to the movies through the spell of song. MS says check it out.”

“SHP Records/Universal Music intriguing new artist, Old Sand Mill, an alternative folk rock Brit-influenced band comprised of Coachella Valley songwriters/musicians Chip Miller and Janaki, has made an impressive debut with their ambitious and beautiful new album, “The World Is Getting Colder.” The songs are catchy, edgy, hypnotic, acid-like trippy, gorgeous, silly, deep, spiritual, haunting, sad, happy, scary, full of warning, loss, and in the end – simple and bittersweet hope for peace and love. This is worth a listen. Perhaps we need a little more John Lennon and Gandhi in this cold new technological world of isolation and disconnect.”
