Artist My Milky Way Arms

  • my milky way arms

My Milky Way Arms makes Capcom anthems full of 8-bit squiggles and insistent beats that are every bit as epic as the solo-project-cum-duo’s The Man Who Fell To Earth-meets-Superman mythology. But whether or not Chase Hill is still passing himself off as the intergalactic diamond-miner “Space Kill” is beside the point with electro-pop songs this inviting. Hill’s geeky, cheeky lyrics and Animal Collective whoops undercut any pretension that may have been implied by the mythology underscoring his 2009 full-length, Lightsaber Circuit Breaker. So far successful in evading the destructive power of George Lucas’ litigious Death Star, Hill continues to explore his personal, circuit-bent galaxy of pixels and Wookiees.
