The recent release of the band\u2019s third LP, <em>Neurotic Exotic<\/em>, finds frontman and Moving Units founder Blake Miller reasserting himself as the sole member of the \u201cgroup,\u201d having broken away from the other original players. &nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\tSpeaking with TSS.com, Mr. Miller brought us up to speed on his newly single musical status, reminisced about his teenage Kate Moss infatuation and shared his envious passion for women\u2019s figure skating outfits.<\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t<strong>The recently released <em>Neurotic Exotic<\/em> is the first Moving Units album sans the other original members. How did the song writing\/recording process differ?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\tI&#8217;ve always written Moving Units songs based on a distinctive riff or chord pattern, so this solitary approach was ideal for documenting the raw elements of a new song idea. In the past, the band would spend a lot time in the rehearsal studio jamming the raw parts until we agreed upon final arrangements and tempos.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\tFor this album, however, I spent most of the writing process working alone in my home studio recording rough drafts of vocal and instrumental hooks. Once I had compiled an album&#8217;s worth of material I began fleshing out arrangements, tempos and instrumentation during pre-production, with my co-producer Cliff Magreta. The tracking process was much more focused and decisive while producing this album&#8230; Most performances were captured in the first or second take. We worked quickly and just plowed through the overdubs very methodically&#8230;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\tThe live performance approach hasn&#8217;t changed much. We still play tightly rehearsed, high-energy sets. It&#8217;s been seven years since we toured so we&#8217;re psyched to be doing SXSW this year. We&#8217;re doing a North American tour in April and May as well.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t<strong>How has the digital music era personally affected your band\u2019s ability to \u201cmove units?\u201d &nbsp;Has making ends meet as a musician become more of a challenge in recent years?<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\tWell, our band didn&#8217;t spend a lot of energy trying to sell records or amass personal fortunes. Our backgrounds were very rooted in the first wave indie DIY culture. We were fortunate to garner a lot of press and attention in a short amount of time, which led to some great professional opportunities.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\tBut I think the digital music era actually affords young musicians an unlimited amount of leverage in their career. Social media, YouTube, streaming platforms all grant bands and their fans incredible access to content. I&#8217;m sure the major labels are hurting but we were never on that trip. Making ends meet seems to be a challenge for most people I know&#8230; Making a living as a musician has always been a labor of love and we&#8217;re stoked we&#8217;ve been able to continue doing it for over a decade.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t<strong>Take us through the narrative that is your dance opus, \u201cKate Moss in \u201997.\u201d Have you ever had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Moss?<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\tThis song is particularly close to my heart. I&#8217;m a \u201990s dude and of course Kate Moss was an incredible feminine icon that dominated pop culture both then and now. The narrative was inspired late one night while I was at home strumming guitar and a documentary titled <em>Kate! The Making of an Icon<\/em> started playing on cable TV. Apparently in 1997, she reached her absolute zenith of media permeation \u2013 she appeared on the cover of more publications than any other cultural icon of the day.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\tThis detail just seemed so profound to me at the time and suddenly the chorus vocal hook \u201cI went to heaven with Kate Moss in &#8217;97\u201d popped into my head&#8230; I quickly worked out the chord changes and realized it was a great song in the making! The verse portrays a surrealistic and dramatically exaggerated account of my adolescent infatuation with her. It&#8217;s perverse and cheeky \u2013 in a British sort of way \u2013 but the chorus is a genuine homage to the natural beauty and rock and roll energy she conjures within so many human beings.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\tI&#8217;ve never had the privilege of meeting her in person&#8230; But we played Coachella in 2011, and I secretly fantasized she might overhear our perverted anthem while hanging out with her dude from The Kills who were also on the bill that year. &nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t<strong>The \u201980s had \u201cthe robot,\u201d \u201cthe worm\u201d and \u201cthe Cabbage Patch,\u201d the \u201990s had the \u201cMacarena\u201d and \u201cvogueing\u201d and finally \u201ctwerking\u201d in the new millennium. What\u2019s the next hot dance craze to sweep the nation? What MU song will people be shaking their assets to?<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\tPersonally, I&#8217;m waiting for [Joy Division&#8217;s] Ian Curtis&#8217; dance disaster moves to finally sweep the nation. I certainly channeled his spirit more than a few times on the dance floor and it always gets results!&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\tMoving Units is all about inciting people to shake their body parts in every which way possible, so every song is loaded with spazz out potential. &#8220;Birds of Prey&#8221; is an ass shaking no-brainer for sure!<\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t<strong>What\u2019s next for you in 2014?<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\tWe&#8217;re shooting a video and releasing a single for the new album track, \u201cThe World Is Ours.\u201d Also, touring North America throughout April and May, and preparing to announce a few new surprises in the near future\u2026<\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t<strong>Bonus Question: In what Winter Olympics sport would you have most liked to compete? &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\tWomen&#8217;s figure skating.
