Cargo Records

Modern Romance

Between working on his debut 2005 album 'Mitchells Raccolta' (Background) and moving abroad, Dave Miller found time to make it to a laptop and some instruments with fellow West-Australian Fiam.

The collaboration resulted in a fine collection for Expanding that combines his talent for exposing the elegant mathematical formulas within tracks with Fiam's fondness for subtle melodies. Beautiful and diverse tracks that will intrigue mind and soul, realist and romantic. The album goes in multiple directions, representing the two artists' current interests; with tracks containing the detailed and groovy rhythms of Miller's last releases on Background as well as the warm, melancholic mixture of samples and instrumentation found on Fiam's work as Victor Bermon on Chicago's Hefty Records. Simple, personal and delicately executed.
