While originally conceived as a solo project, MILLY embraced a newfound collaborative approach for Your Own Becoming, something that was only hinted at on 2022’s Eternal Ring. After a few months of painstakingly demoing songs, principal songwriter Brendan Dyer, along with bassist Yarden Erez and drummer Connor Frankel, decamped with producer Sonny DiPerri to East West Studios and Dangerbird’s Recording Studio in Los Angeles. New guitarist Nico Moreta joined the band after recording. Armed with towering, surging guitar riffs, crystalline and inviting hooks, and a newfound collaborative approach, their sophomore LP Your Own Becoming feels like a total reinvention. This album is a document of how doubling down on your art in the face of serious fear and doubt can be grounding. Across 10 pummeling and undeniable songs, Your Own Becoming finds its power in channeling your darkest thoughts into something galvanizing and productive.
