Jesse Miller was born to missionary parents in Uganda (which is where he was given the name Luwum) and in college became part of the DIY scene in Denton, Texas, with his band Señor Fin. This solo release, however, is bedroom pop in the truest sense, recorded entirely on 4-track and laptop after moving from TX to Washington state last winter (where he ended up crashing at a friend's parent's house). Blogs have called his songs "personal", "twangy", "warbly" and "meditative".

Hear Places Worn on Hype Machine this week (s/o yvynyl for the tip)

premiere: LUWUM - A Weird Flash

Take this through to your weekend mellow zone. I am. Letting the springtime sunshine wash upon my bright light dancing in my open windows. 

Songwriter Jesse Miller tells me: “This past winter I was in a lot of weird places. I moved out of Texas six months beforehand and had been on the move ever since, trying to keep my feet on the ground. I was living at a friend's parents house in the suburbs of Seattle, in his childhood bedroom. I got into a bad car crash on I-5 and totaled my car. 

“I found myself in a difficult and confusing relationship that seemed to be cycling through emotional extremes. Then I kept seeing this bright flash at night. It had the rhythm and the power of a camera flash coming through the window, but it was totally unexplained. Meanwhile I was holed up in my friend's tiny bedroom, recording some songs on a 4-track cassette recorder. A Weird Flash is an impression of that time. It's a about that flash, about that relationship, and about the paranoia that can result from mental exhaustion and instability.”
