Art As Catharsis is proud to announce Milton Man Gogh's return in 2021 with their latest offering: 'The Great Reset'; a musical and graphic novella that takes MMG's brand of frenzied prog-jazz, slips a pink Mitsubishi or three into its pocket and turns on a strobe light.

Intended as a loose sequel to their sophomore release 'XXXX Bitter Irony', 'The Great Reset' continues the meta-narrative of their protagonist; coming to terms with his brutal murdering of a second-rate Australian jazz trio, the feelings of regret and grief and the desire to reset the game and play again. Illustrated by MMG resident artist Chloe McAlister, 'The Great Reset' takes Milton's extreme psychological imbalance and cuts it into easy to digest pieces!

Musically speaking, Milton Man Gogh find the delicate balance between the calm and the storm. Embracing their growth as songwriters on this release, the band continue to turn past extremes into normality, ranging from calm and languid to an overwhelmingly energetic barrage of texture and sound.

The release of ‘The Great Reset’ comes after a busy period for the band, receiving continual critical praise for their previous work which earned them a position as a finalist in the Queensland Music Awards, alongside an attempted European tour and a position in the finals of the 2020 Belgium International Jazz Competition.

“We figured that if we have trouble classifying what we do as a group, we’re probably over-thinking it quite a bit” the band explains.

“After a while, it became somewhat second-nature to always try to be uncompromising in our collective individuality; musically and conceptually. We are still, as always, taking risks and trying not to suck”

With big plans in the new year, cut off your ear and keep the other one listening for Milton Man Gogh.
