Amy Millan
July 25, 2009

Amy Millan is not, to our knowledge at least, an ancient Egyptian queen. Nor are her songs, so far as we know, edible. But on all other accounts the above bit of folklore is the story of the 12 songs that make up her solo debut, Honey From The Tombs. Little reminders of your impossibly romantic early 20s — preserved, aged, then dug up and discovered to have lost none of their original sweetness.

 

Most were written before 2000 (before Millan joined a little band called Stars), then recorded over the last three years with the assistance of friends old and new (including producer Ian Blurton and the boys and girls of Crazy Strings and Broken Social Scene). And they owe as much to nights spent spinning alternative country tales in Lithuanian bingo halls to her current status as indie pop star.
