“When I first heard the track, I was struck by its noir-ish, almost suffocating atmosphere, contrasted with a sense of the expansive outdoors that feels so characteristic of life in LA. I drew inspiration from a smoggy LA sunset — something beautiful, but with an underlying sense of toxicity. I created the visualizer using modular video synthesis, building four layers, each responding to a different element of the track. I wanted the visuals to evoke that same tension between unease, beauty and decay that runs throughout the music.” - Alex Pelly “Talk About LA (feat. Ann Magnuson)” is from the forthcoming Cafe Ale album 𝐼’𝓂 𝐹𝓊𝓁𝓁 𝑜𝒻 𝒢𝒽𝑜𝓈𝓉𝓈 out January 8, 2027 on AKP Recordings.

Link en la bio de @discogs. #MiloJ #DrivenToDig #LatinGRAMMY 09 Nov 2026 Led by his roots and love for traditional Argentine and Afro-Uruguayan folk and murga, @milo.j blends musical worlds and explores emotion phrase by phrase. The six-time Latin Grammy Award nominee's influences stretch from the old-school rock of Los Gardelitos to the trap of YSY A and the genre-bending sound of Tyler, the Creator. Ahead of the 27th Annual Latin Grammy Awards, Milo J joined us at @nivessarecords in Los Angeles with Alejandro Cohen (@cafe__ale), Music Director at @kcrwmusic, as they talked about the records that moved him and how those influences shaped 'La Vida Era Más Corta,' the record that earned him an Album of the Year nomination. And at age 20, he's already collected a lifetime of musical inspirations that prove he has even more stories to tell with his music. Driven to Dig is a Discogs original series where we take artists into record stores to explore the music that inspires them. Because sometimes, the best way to understand an artist is to discover what's in their crates. Watch the full episode on the Discogs YouTube channel. Link in the @discogs bio. Filmed in Spanish with English captions. En español: Guiado por sus raíces y su amor por el folclore y la murga tradicional argentina y afrouruguaya, el seis veces nominado a los premios Latin Grammy, Milo J, fusiona mundos musicales y explora la emoción frase por frase. Sus influencias van desde el rock de la vieja escuela de Los Gardelitos hasta el trap de YSY A y el sonido que rompe géneros de Tyler, the Creator. Antes de la 27.ª entrega anual de los Latin Grammy, Milo J se unió a nosotros en Nivessa Records en Los Ángeles con Alejandro Cohen, director musical de KCRW, para hablar sobre los discos que lo conmovieron y cómo esas influencias dieron forma a 'La Vida Era Más Corta,' el disco que le valió una nominación al Álbum del Año. Y con solo 20 años, ya ha coleccionado toda una vida de inspiraciones musicales que demuestran que tiene aún más historias que contar con su música.

Available digitally and on boutique cassette January 8th, the first single “Talk About LA (feat. Ann Magnuson)” is out now with an accompanying video by Alex Pelly. Listen & purchase • link in bio “‘Talk About LA’ began around 2017 when I wrote its central melody for a PBS documentary I was scoring. The melody was arranged for tenor saxophone, but the cue was rejected. I revisited the piece, reimagining the melody for piano, but that version also failed to find a place in the documentary. A few years later I returned to the recording and began building a new sonic environment that transformed the piece into something stranger and more atmospheric. The result reminded me of “Providence” by Sonic Youth, and opened up an entirely new direction. With that connection in mind, I reached out to my friend Ann Magnuson, with whom I had previously collaborated on several projects. Rather than asking her to write lyrics or perform a character, I invited her to record a dream she had experienced. Ann delivered a spoken-word performance that felt both intimate and surreal. I then processed her voice through a combination of effects, re-amplification, and additional treatments, integrating it into the larger sonic landscape of the piece. What emerged is less a song than a kind of dream state. “Talk About LA” exists somewhere between memory and imagination, familiar yet elusive. It carries a sense of beauty, but one that is shadowed by uncertainty; moments of warmth and wonder that simultaneously hint at something darker just beneath the surface.” - Cafe Ale Talk About LA written by @cafe__ale, @annmagnuson.official Vocals by Ann Magnuson Piano by @aaronmrdrake Artwork by @farbodkokabi Video by @alexpelly Artist photo by @romalc.pcd AKP056 🅸’𝘮 🅵𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 🅶𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘴 Artwork by @farbodkokabi “This was a dream I had several years ago after I appeared on Star Trek: Picard.
