Miles Calder is an indie-folk songwriter from Pōneke / Wellington. The former frontman of The Rumours, Miles released his debut solo album Autopilot Life in 2021, a self-reflective delve dressed in a psychedelic folk-rock palette that evoked late-era Beatles as much as contemporaries like Kevin Morby and Father John Misty.

Newly working with Sam Flynn Scott (The Phoenix Foundation) as a producer, Calder and band propel their indie-folk and psychedelic sound with chilly synths and eerie, soft backing vocals added to the song’s spacious arrangement.
