Milkie is the moniker of songwriter and frontwoman Millie Phipps, and also the name of her four-piece avant-pop band currently making waves in their hometown of Bristol. Early obsessions with the Beatles’ White Album and Serge Gainsbourg guaranteed Millie’s early forays into songwriting were somewhat unusual, and she’s been writing idiosyncratic pop songs ever since. As a band, Milkie are hard to describe yet distinctively themselves. They’re a guitar band, except sometimes they don’t play any guitars. They’re a synth band but sometimes they’ll unplug everything and sit on the floor. Millie’s lyrics are the thread that ties it all together. She tells everyday stories with a poetic sense of defiance, despair and a healthy dose of sarcasm.
Milkie formed in early 2023, not long before Millie left her grown-up job as a university principal, fed up and yearning to be creative once more. Spring 2024 has seen Milkie in the studio recording their debut album, produced by guitarist Benjamin Johnson and mixed by TJ Allen (Bat for Lashes, Anna Calvi). The first single, ‘Praise Be,’ comes out on 19th April and the band play Record Store Day at Rough Trade Bristol on 20th April. For fans of Pulp, Broadcast and Cate Le Bon.
