New York-based B.Miles is back with “+1,” the focus track from her new LP, Time Doesn’t Heal. It Hides.
We typically end up featuring every track that B. Miles delivers, and once you’ve caught an earful of this new one, you will understand why. “+1” is a slice of dark pop, lo-fi bedroom indie that immediately captures your attention, with reverberating guitars, ethereal auxiliary vocal layers, and an unobtrusive yet pulsating rhythm to propel it all forward.
As we’ve previously mentioned, B. Miles has a voice that is warmly reminiscent to that of Lana Del Rey, with some hints of Florence Welch– somber and jazz-ridden while delivering lines of lyrics that traverse being wanted, but not necessarily loved. Overall, “+1” is a dreamy offering of music that is chuck-full of alt-pop vibes, leaning more into introspection than the sphere of danceability.
About the track, B. Miles adds that it “basks in the heat of being wanted, even when you know the emptiness that follows. It’s that familiar kind of pain you can’t forget - but still reach for anyway. A cycle of longing, intimacy, loneliness and desperation - stuck on repeat since Twenty Fifteen…. Every time I’ve reached for the warmth, I’m burned.”
