“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.”
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 guest artists Brian Wilson, Jerry Douglas (Alison Krauss & Union Station), Darryl Jones (The Rolling Stones), & r&b legend Deneice Williams. This one’s worth the journey.
