Top 10 ESSENTIAL Albums of 2012 - Acoustic Guitar Magazine
With a unique approach to the guitar, Adam Miller's music is groovy and approachable, whilst having a melodic sophistication that only comes from years of cross genre hopping. His inclusion of complex rhythms and dissonant haunting phrases, combined with breathtaking riffs and melodies are his signature. His jazz influenced style with finger-picking mastery creates a improvisation filled live performance that is beautifully unpredictable. This has seen him share stages with Les Paul, Tommy Emmanuel, Matt Schofield, Russell Morris, Charlie Hunter, Adam Levy, Ariel Posen, Tony McManus, Ben Gillies (Silverchair), and the list continues....
Following a relentless international touring schedule the past few years which has seen him perform in the USA, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Japan, & Australia, Adam Miller has just released his new album THE DEFINING OF SUCCESS in March 2018.
Featuring 10 all new tracks, Adam has chosen his regular trio of Mitch Cairns (Russell Morris, Leo Sayer, Adam Eckersley & Brooke McClymont) on Bass, and Dom 'Donnie' Borzestowski (Gang Of Youths) on Drums to be the focus on this album. The trio has honed its skills since becoming the regular lineup following the release of Shifting Units in 2014. Whilst everyone's other tour schedules are hard to juggle, there had been just enough time in the past year to get together to record. Slide guitar melodist & frequent collaborator Jason Lowe also features on 2 tracks.
The songs, which really take the focus on this record, have been in regular cycle at Miller's shows for the past year. This means they've had time to grow and be refined into the tight arrangements presented on the recording.
'THE DEFINING OF SUCCESS is the idea that success is always changing, and with rapid progression in the current world. I feel that the definition of success is very personal and one that needs to be constantly re-evaluated, hence the use of the word DEFINING - meaning it will always evolve! It's hard as you get older to see people around you achieving certain life goals and feeling like you're so far behind. I have to personally keep my DEFINING in check and this record is about that. The songs are very specific one word titles relating to simple ideas that could propel me, hold me back, or keep me grounded, and the songs stemmed out of these feelings in the moment. I'm hoping that these titles will help people to connect with the melodies and grooves and allow them to explore there own personal adventure in life!'
