Today on The Spindle, Marc and John dig into a purist 7-inch band: Minnesota’s Halo of Flies, whose discography is practically all singles. Guitarist Tom Hazelmyer launched the Amphetamine Reptile label to put out music by the trio; it eventually became a home for noise rock stalwarts Helmet, Cows, and Unsane, but Halo of Flies stood out in the grunge era as a band unafraid to put catchy melodies inside swirling feedback.

You can recognize Mickey Miles‘ singular, hand-drawn, frame-by-frame animation style the moment you see it. His soulful lines, vibrant but warm colors, and a playful ’70s-inspired aesthetic have made him a go-to for artists like Alex Izenburg, Robbing Millions, the essential New Commute blog, and even avant-garde icon John Cale, who tapped Miles for his Davie Bowie-inspired video for “Night Crawling.”
