“Most of my band is from Northern California so this is the festival that we’ve wanted to do,” said Graham Fink of Milo Greene, just after stepping off the Sutro stage at Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival on Saturday, August 10. The Los Angeles native who grew up in Westwood and now lives near Silver Lake was in a celebratory mood after the indie band’s performance, which will be its last appearance for a few months after over two years on tour. The five members of Milo Greene—Fink, Marlana Sheetz, Andrew Heringer, Robbie Arnett, and Curtis Marrero—are headed into the studio to record their second album, due out on Elektra early next year. The band, named after a fictional manager dreamed up by Arnett and Heringer to book gigs, was discovered in 2011 by the team at South Pasadena-based Chop Shop Records run by Alexandra Patsavas, a TV and film music supervisor.

The quintet played most of the tunes on its self-titled debut 2012 album filled with three- and four-part harmonies during their Golden Gate Park set, but Fink said the new album will lean away from acoustic arrangements and the first album’s folky sound. “There will be more synthesizer, it’ll be a little bit more sexy,” said Fink. “I make songs on my computer that will never be used, songs with 18 layers of horn parts, trumpets and trombones over weird beats,” he adds. “But we’re still in the writing phase, so we’ll see how it shakes out.”
