MILTOWN's debut full-length, TALES OF NEVER LETTING GO, has finally been released. Limited edition "Pitch Black" (513) and "Glacier Blue" (297) vinyl are available now.
Featuring JONAH JENKINS (Only Living Witness), BRIAN McTERNAN (Be Well, Battery, Ashes), MATT SQUIRE (Ashes), JAY CANNAVA, and ROB DULANEY, these sessions were recorded at the legendary Long View Farm Studios (Bad Brains, Quicksand, Killswitch Engage) in December ’97 and January ’98.
The band broke up before the songs were mixed and the master tapes have sat in Southern California warehouses ever since. In 2024, Man Alive Records achieved an exclusive license to release the recordings after almost 30 years. The sessions were then mixed by guitarist BRIAN McTERNAN (Turnstile, Thrice, Angel Du$t) at Salad Days Studio and its packaging designed by TOM BEJGROWICZ (Beastie Boys, Johnny Cash, Snapcase). The album was mastered and cut to lacquers by NICK TOWNSEND (The Hold Steady, Nails, Dr. Dre) and features 13 songs, 10 of which debut here and three re-recordings of songs that appeared on the band's debut EP for Hydra Head Records in 1997.
TALES OF NEVER LETTING GO's packaging includes a full-color jacket, an innersleeve featuring complete lyrics and credits, an insert with the band's photos, ephemera, and master tape imagery from the time of recording the album—all of which have a matte coating to help protect against finger prints.
