Milton Hall is an American artist who has produced art in several mediums but largely as a musician and songwriter. In 2012 Paste Magazine listed him as one of the "12 South Carolina Bands You Should Listen To Now". Hall's music is chameleon in nature veering from pure pop, rock, indie folk and occasionally abstract soundscapes. Shuffle Magazine described his album Numb World (Space Idea Tapes) as a "meeting of easygoing melody and pillowy fuzz". Hall was born in Columbia, SC and continues to reside in the area.
Hall cut his musical teeth touring and recording on bass with a regional indie rock band, playing everywhere from Athens, GA to CBGB’s and recording several times with producer Dave Barbe. He has moved up to singer/songwriter on his two most recent releases. 2011's Numb World played like a mix tape made by a friend interweaving pop and abstract soundscapes.
Coat From Japan, Recorded in the Winter of 2014, captures Hall’s easy and pure pop melodies, but with a variety of rock influences seemingly from multiple decades. Hall collaborated with Stan Gardener on Drums and John Furr who provided bass and additional guitars as well as engineering and mixing. Initially begun as a three song project, the group were beyond satisfied with the early results, and a whole album flowed quite freely. Coat From Japan has variety, but it is all rock in the best way. It made multiple record of the year lists for 2014.
As of 2015 Hall has assembled a full four piece band. Retaining Gardner (bass) and Furr (guitar) from the recording team and adding Jonathan Bradley on drums.
Collectively, this seasoned group of musicians has toured extensively including four years as a member of Iron and Wine's, dates at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, CBGB's and an appearance on the The Conan O'Brien show.
