“My attempt to contribute to the canon of break-up albums.”
Rob I. Miller
Only a few months following All in Good Time—the Dark Entries debut of Oakland pop punk quartet Blues Lawyer—the band’s chief songwriter Rob I. Miller is back with another full-length. Out on Vacant Stare Records, Companion Piece is an all-shades-of-blue mosaic of love (lost) songs, in moments played through sparse acoustic arrangements but more often building into the catchy alt rock ditties we’ve come to expect from Miller. From deep sadness and bitterness to detached compassion, he sighs out the spectrum of feelings that accompany heartbreak. After all, it’s one of the original reasons to sing, right?
