Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson, 'Summer of Fear' (Saddle Creek)
Brooklyn's Mr. Lonelyhearts places devastating personal ad.

On his self-titled 2008 debut, singer-songwriter Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson sounded like it was all he could do to hold himself together long enough to sing about falling apart. Though that album's postaddiction, confessional howl was one of the year's most darkly magnetic listens, it was also cause for artistic concern.

Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson, 'Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson' (Say Hey)
Songwriter turns troubles into poignant tour de force.
By Jessica Suarez 06.30.08 10:26 AM
Brooklyn patron saints Grizzly Bear and TV on the Radio helped Robinson record this atmospheric folk-rock album in 2006, but personal demons (addiction, even homelessness) led to the shelving of the project until now. Still, this is no record of redemption. While Robinson is consistently clever and self-deprecating, every line seethes with real pathos.
