On not only their debut album release day, but also the first date of their nationwide tour it is with great pleasure that The Miltones share their brand new music video for Pursed Lips courtesy of NZ On Air (which you can view below!).
Pursed Lips is the stand-out, flirtatious and fun track on the The Miltones’ self-titled album. You can let your hair down and dance without inhibition – it’s the 90’s country-pop vibe amongst the album’s more heartfelt tracks like Mothers Ruin and Carlos. The video was filmed and edited by Alexander Hoyles (photographer & music video director) with help from Henry Williamson (Thievery Studio) on location at the Tabak family farm.
The Miltones songwriter and front-woman, Milly Tabak, talking about the video says “Pursed Lips was our opportunity to share our personality as a band, where we come from, and our relationship with music and those who share in the experience with us. The idea to shoot Pursed Lips at our Wildfire single came to all of us: We could include the amazing souls who dedicate time to help the band pursue music. It really was our way to show people that The Miltones is a beautiful community of friends and family. I’ve never viewed us as just a band – the video also reflects this through its honest and light-hearted feel.”
With 70’s American rock with influences from The Boss to Fleetwood Mac, The Miltones are making themselves known through the fuzz guitar and exquisite melody lines.
From today, The Miltones hit the New Zealand roads in support of their self-titled debut album, The Miltones. The full band – Milly Tabak, vocals and guitar, Liam Pratt, guitar, Guy Harrison on keys (Hollie Smith), Chris Marshall on bass (Miss June) and Tom Broome on drums (Esther Stephen & The Means, Hollie Smith) – will appear at select dates, with the more intimate sound of Milly, Liam and Guy at the others.
In whatever formation they appear, their infectious and fiery energy will get you knee slappin’, foot stompin’ and booty shakin’ until the cows come home!
