Henry Jamison started The Milkman's Union as a solo project in 2005 or around then. I could continue to write about myself in the third person, or I could just admit that I am Henry Jamison and not some weirdly well-informed reviewer. I recorded two albums in high school, while my main inspiration was Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie. Then I went to college and met Peter McLaughlin and Sean Weathersby, who joined the band on drums and bass, respectively. Akiva Zamcheck joined us last year on lead guitar and we became a band proper, with aspirations beyond our tiny social sphere. We have completed our first album (my second first), with the help of some ballers from Brunswick High, and hope to make a fair splash in the NESCAC indie league. The music is more complex than anything I've ever done, informed now by many youthful and slightly tipsy minds, and I believe my newly aquired book-smarts have shaped my lyrics, in places, into an enigmatic, shifting spirit that is aimed at striking you down and jostling illusions or something like that. Whatever high-minded ideas I may have about music (Apollinian vs. Dionysian impulses etc), I'll be quiet about them for now. I believe that all art should serve the people and music is in need of redemption in that respect (a raising-up from depravity and a "lowering" from stifling intellectualism), but I don't really think we're the ones to do it. Just know that we're trying to make the best music we can and this is where we are in our evolution. HMJ
