The Milling Gowns celebrate the release of "Diving Bell Shallows", their first full-length CD, which showcases the original songs of baritone singer M. backed by darkly elegant piano and viola, punctuated with drums and bass. Their melodramatic pop sound ranges from upbeat with subliminal sadness to slow textured laments.

"Blakeslee's live performances are wondrous. Similar to a beekeeper who spells smoke upon the colony before gathering honey, he rouses audiences with wit before subsequently throttling them with his deeply engaging voice and well-thought lyrics. He is unafraid to bare his very soul, emptying a loaded cache of emotion and passion onto the stage for all to witness, explore and devour. His conviction and love for life itself alone makes him impossible to ignore."
