MilesExper­ience back with Spaces

-

Five-piece rock band MilesExper­ience returns with

Spaces, the follow-up single to its recent chart-topper Sunshine which peaked at No. 1 on Spotify Philippine­s’ Viral 50 chart. Both songs will be part of the band’s upcoming sophomore album under MCA Music.

Composed of vocalist/guitarist Miles Bondoc, guitarist Justin Teano, bassist Ian Diaz, keyboardis­t Guido Hizon and drummer Tim Odulio, MilesExper­ience is a familiar name to followers of the local music scene everywhere. Whether it’s at an intimate bar gig or at a local festival, indie music lovers have definitely gotten to watch the band at a show. If the previous single Sunshine stunned listeners with its elaborate production and melody, Spaces seeks to do the same, but with less. The new track is “the opposite of Sunshine musically and literally,” the band says. “We wanted to create a piece where the listeners would feel like they’re floating in space with little to zero sound effects in it.” As a song written away from the bustle of city life, Spaces admittedly captures the group’s feelings of missing loved ones in the isolation of writing the new album.

Along with Sunshine, Spaces is set to appear on the band’s full-length album under MCA Music. Among the group’s notable labelmates are Urbandub, Pupil and Autotelic.

MilesExper­ience had its beginnings in 2011 as a blues band from the University of Sto. Tomas Conservato­ry of Music, later on evolving into a revamped, more confident sound in 2014. Aside from topping Spotify Philippine­s’

Viral 50, Sunshine has received ample airplay from major radio stations like Magic 89.9, Jam 88.3, Mellow 94.7, PinasFM 95.5, Play FM 99.5 and Monster RX 93.1. The band’s past singles include the well-received

Love Supreme, Silakbo and Anggulo, which was handpicked to be the main theme song of the local broadcast of European television series Wolfblood.

Spaces is available through digital downloads via Spinnr and iTunes and streaming at

Spinnr, Apple Music and Spotify. For bookings and inquiries, contact MCA Music Artist Management at 0998-9741162 or e-mail mcabooking@umusic.
