24 year-old Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson is Brooklyn’s best-kept secret. Since recording an album with Grizzly Bear’s Chris Taylor and Chris Bear in 2006 (with appearances by Kyp Malone of TV on the Radio and Grizzly Bear’s Daniel Rossen), Miles has squandered much of his initial momentum and potential promise in an alcoholic haze and series of shambling yet, ultimately, transcendent live performances at some of Brooklyn’s most and least renowned venues.
With the addition and solidification of his backing band, the Black Boys, Miles’ folk rock has taken a turn toward the anthemic stylings of Fleetwood Mac, Bell Biv Devoe, and early Pavement. The total effect integrates the album’s intimate sounds with that of several bands he led during the past decade that you’ve never heard of. The new line-up is already hard at work on the mildly anticipated follow-up, "Summer of Fear".
Sounds like: the Band, the Boss, Rain Parade, Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young, Regurgitation, Race-Baiting…classic rock ambition with punk rock execution! See them before you have to act like you’re over them!

Yesterday, I discovered you on Pitchfork Media. Then I checked out your website and saw your "ten top songs of 2007". All the bands you put in it are great, but I can tell, after listening to buriedfed for hours, that you are my favorite artist of 2008 - what a fresh year! I can't wait for your album to get out!
