Finn Miles is an eclectic mix of acutely insightful and literate prose in an Indie/Folk-Americana wrapper led by songwriter/singer Paul Gratton.

Musically, Finn Miles cuts from lush arrangement to sparse tranquility in a natural fashion. Acoustic and electric guitars, harmonicas, flutes, glockenspiels, trumpets, rhodes piano, thundering drums, and earnestly delivered vocals fill out a plush, but well orchestrated sound.

Consisting at it’s most basic form with Paul Gratton; but often including Laura Gratton on trumpet, along with multi-instrumentalist/producer/brother/wonderkind Scott Gratton, Finn Miles constantly morphs, updating and rearranging songs, making each show unique.

Concrete language, rustic sensibilities, and wide open arrangements give the group’s first EP “Branches” a whimsical, yet grounded spirit. Exploring spiritual longing, reflecting on human nature and the healing power of relationship through the language and lens of great thinkers, Branches relies on memorable melodies and folksy production to cut across genre.

On Finn Miles’ second offering, dubbed “Telltale,” the lyrics dive deeper into loneliness, alienation, and the desire to find “a better way.” Hints of distortion, layers of Rhodes piano, and jangly electric guitars spread out like miles of cracked concrete, an ode to modern life.

Citing influences such as Sufjan Stevens, The Envy Corps, Bob Dylan, Radiohead, Nick Drake, and The Arcade Fire, Finn Miles combines the needle-and-thread of articulate songwriting combined with ear-catching melodies.
