Myles Sky On the Making Of ‘Phoenix Season’
Punk Head: Many tracks tap into destruction as a part of healing - “Everything I Touch Burns,” “Gasoline Halo,” “Molotov Heart.” How do you view the relationship between chaos and transformation?
Myles Sky: It shows that you can come back from anything if you try and you put your mind to it.
Punk Head: Depression and rebirth are deeply personal experiences. How did you balance vulnerability with the bold cinematic energy in the production?
Myles Sky: It helps me write engaging and compelling music.
Punk Head: “Pretty When I Break Things” is your personal favorite. What does that song reveal about you that the others don’t?
Myles Sky: It's not personally about me but it shows you can believe in yourself if you try.
Punk Head: Your aesthetic blends aristocratic imagery with raw youth culture. How does that duality show up in these songs?
Myles Sky: It wraps it all together to show anyone can do anything if they try their best.
Punk Head: What was the hardest song on the album to finish — either emotionally or technically — and why?
Myles Sky: I wouldn't say any were the hardest to be honest.
