Milhowse Striking Gold on 'When We Were Friends'

Their latest single, "When We Were Friends," opens with delicate, clean guitar arpeggios reminiscent of Modern Baseball and early Jimmy Eat World, and the arrangement patiently builds around Ian Willcock’s reflective vocal delivery. The band lets the atmosphere simmer, allowing Tobias Salter’s subtle counter-melodies and Ryan Little’s grounding basslines to establish a poignant sense of lingering nostalgia.The standout moment arrives in the final minute, where Simon Johansson’s driving percussion propels the track into a cathartic, wall-of-sound crescendo.

I found myself hitting repeat for the hook, and for the sheer emotional weight woven into the production. Milhowse has delivered an essential anthem for anyone who has watched a meaningful connection slowly fade.
