History

Self-titled debut album (2012–2015)

The band described their sound to Lauren Moraski of CBS News by explaining, "'Originally when we started this band we wanted to create music that we could potentially see being placed in movies and TV,' said singer/multi-instrumentalist Sheetz."[3] They released their self-titled debut album on 17 July 2012. On 6 October 2012, the group released a short film entitled Moddison as a companion to the album. Written by the band and directed by Chad Huff, the film consists of a series of individual music videos for every song on Milo Greene. It was filmed over a span of five days at a cabin on Shaver Lake in California.

Milo Greene is the name of a fictitious booking agent, a persona created by the band to help them get gigs in the early days of playing shows. The band decided to keep the name of their fictitious booking agent for the group.[4]

Control (2015–2018)

On September 30, 2014, Milo Greene announced that their second album, Control, would be released on January 27, 2015.[5] They described the new album's tone as a departure from the more folk-based sounds of their previous work, instead sounding more upbeat and percussive.[6]

Adult Contemporary (2018–present)

Milo Greene released third album titled Adult Contemporary on September 7, 2018. The lead single "Move" was released in May.
