Tor Miller – Surviving the Suburbs
Tor Miller - Surviving the Suburbs
Release Date: Out Now
Tor Miller is a native New Yorker
and his new single ‘Surviving the Suburbs’ captures the American spirit of
teenage angst and trapped hopes superbly. Sultry, rolling piano notes unfurl
atop a late night beat and Miller’s soft, dusky vocals start to tell a tale of
mediocrity and boredom in the suburban sprawl of America. “We like to drive
around, cause it beats being at home and find different ways in to town but
there’s only so many ways to go” is a lyric that is so mundane that you are
immediately transported to a time in your life when you’ve felt stuck on an
endless escalator or a road without any exit ramps. Musically, this is slick
and stylish in the vein of Rooney and the Killers but with a more youthful
spirit and the edge of a Ben Folds . “I’m young, broke and stoned. I am bored
and alone”, now that’s a lyric ready to be printed on a T-Shirt.
