“I’ve been listening to this CD in my car, over and over again. The Riz Loves it! I get colors and great vibes. ‘River, River’ track really speaks to me!” – Pat Rizzo (Palm Springs Orchestra Leader & original member of Sly & The Family Stone/former member of War)

“Wonderful arrangements and solid songwriting.” - Gino Vannelli (Grammy Award winning/best-selling international pop star & songwriter)

“I can hear all their influences throughout the CD – Beatles, Donovan, Traffic, Moody Blues, and of course, The Beach Boys.” - Mike Love (multiple Grammy Award winner/Lead singer/songwriter/co-founder of The Beach Boys)

“Chip sounds much, much better than (Mike) Love does these days!! The CD is great. Really dig The Beach Boys cover track. And I love ‘Too Much Sun.’” - Alan Boyd (The Beach Boys singer/musician/writing collaborator with Brian Wilson, Mike Love & Al Jardine)

"Old Sand Mill - I liked the name from the first day I heard it. And after listening to their great songs, I definitely think this band is a future classic! They are magical! I listen to their tune, "River, River" daily!" - Simon Adams (Radio Khanya/DJ/Radio Personality for Eastern Cape, East London, Port Elizabeth & South African Radio)

“Wonderful! “Great work!” - David Kershenbaum (Grammy winner/Music Producer for Tracy Chapman, Duran Duran, Kenny Loggins, Bryan Adams, Supertramp, Cat Stevens & Tori Amos)

“Old Sand Mill is an outside-the-grid band dashing out the starting gate with a bloody “Sergeant Pepper! And yours truly, proudly broke this jewel in the UK!” – Roy Wetton (Millside Radio Network/British Radio Personality, Manchester, UK)

"I open the mail every day at the radio station waiting for that unexpected gem to drop in my lap. Old Sand Mill's new disc is just such a beauty! I've made my way through it at least six times, and I'm just now starting to hear all that's going on. This band chooses swimming upstream and doing it their own way. Hey, anyone that works in Brian Wilson, Jerry Douglas, and Daryl Jones, in a meaningful way, wins big brownie points in my book! I was very impressed – a ton of talent on this CD!” - Ray White (KDFC/legendary National Radio Personality, San Francisco, CA)

“SHP Records’ intriguing new artist, Old Sand Mill, an alternative folk rock, Brit-influenced band comprised of Coachella Valley songwriters/musicians Chip Miller and Janaki, has made an impressive debut with their ambitious and beautiful new album, ‘The World Is Getting Colder.’ The songs are catchy, edgy, hypnotic, psychedlic, silly, deep, spiritual, haunting, sad, happy, scary, full of warning, loss, and in the end – a bittersweet hope for peace and love. Perhaps we need more John Lennon and Gandhi in this cold new technological world of isolation and disconnect.” – Phillip Kauffman (Billboard International Music Capsule)

“The vocals and songs are all a treat. I had such a blast playing on this album!” - Jerry Douglas (multiple Grammy winning musician/songwriter/member of Alison Krauss & Union Station; won numerous Country & Bluegrass awards & CMA’s “‘Best Musician of the Year”)

“I have worked with Chip as a filmmaker, so I was totally taken aback after hearing this incredible musical journey his band took me on.” Nicolas Cage (Oscar-winning actor and film producer)

“I heard the final mixes while on tour with Mick, Charlie, Keith, and the band. I was blown away by the music, especially the vocals.” - Darryl Jones (20-year bassist for The Rolling Stones and played with Sting, Madonna, and Miles David)

“It's amazingly good!” - Jimmy Buff (WDST Radio Personality, Woodstock, NY)

“If you dig Crosby, Stills & Nash, Donovan, Yes, Pink Floyd, The Beach Boys, and Simon & Garfunkel, with a dash of Beck and Radiohead, then you will dig Old Sand Mill’s debut work, ‘The World Is Getting Colder.’ This well-produced album pays homage to a wide range of classic and contemporary influences and dares to move effortlessly from one genre to another, with fun and intriguing original tunes penned by singer/songwriter and longtime film and music video director Chip Miller, along with his decades younger band mate, Janaki, a multi-talented musician/composer. They’re joined by some incredible, well-known backing musicians, and numerous guests like the iconic Brian Wilson, multi-Grammy winner Jerry Douglas of Alison Krauss & Union Station, Darryl Jones of The Rolling Stones, r&b legend Deneice Williams, the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra, and many more. This one’s worth the journey. It’s like going to the movies through music.” – Iain Stewart (The British Music Connection)

I love this album!!! I must say I listened to it on MySpace first, but I bought it too! It speaks to me and my entire familey. I hope this album touches the world as it has touched mine. Everyone exaggerates when say they this, but I truly think I do not. This album showed me peace for change when I always thought force for change. Unique completely is this interesting concept and warning presented as a Smörgåsbord of eclectic music and artists. I have my favorites from album, but each piece is not complete without entire album to introduce each. Bravo and much great thanks again!
