Founded by songwriter Paul Gratton in 2007; Finn Miles is a singer/songwriter driven Indie/Folk-Americana band from Des Moines, IA.
Musically, Finn Miles cuts from lush arrangement to sparse tranquility. Layers of acoustic and electric guitars, harmonicas, flutes, glockenspiels, trumpets, rhodes piano, thundering drums, and earnestly delivered vocals fill out a plush, well orchestrated sound.
Core members include singer/guitarist Paul Gratton, his wife Laura Gratton on trumpet, along with multi-instrumentalist/producer/brother/wonderkind Scott Gratton. Finn Miles live performances are commonly filled with interactive visual art and collaborative crowd interaction, making each show a unique experience.
Released in November 2008, Concrete language, rustic sensibilities, and wide open arrangements give the group’s first EP “Branches” a whimsical, yet grounded spirit. Branches relies on memorable melodies and folksy production to cut across genre in a solid first release.
On Finn Miles’ second offering, “Telltale Heart,” released in August of 2009, 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 post-modern life.
