Honey From The Tombs, like any record worth a damn, is one that strives to find a through line between past and present. Ultimately it comes back to our old friend timelessness. To the idea that whether it’s 2006 or 2036, when our flying cars finally get here, we will still need songs about skinny boys, heartbreak, whiskey, youthful confusion and the North Dakota sun. “They’re all about little deaths,” Millan says. “Whether they’re your friends or your old lovers... they’re little photographs and little deaths. Like Losing You, that song, I’m sure when I’m 72 I’ll still relate to it. Whenever you’re with somebody and you fall in love with them, you think they’re the one. That’s why you do it. That’s why you go head first.”
