Moon Pulses
Released on Island House Recordings April 5, 2024
Produced by Viz Ravier
“The album buzzes, pulses, circles the cosmic vortex and then plummets back to the Earthen firma, snagging a bit of fuzz along the way.” —Raven Sings the Blues
“A meditative soundscape built out of effects-laden guitar overdubs that channels the celestial wanderings of Manuel Göttsching and the rusted fuzz of Neil Young or Eddie Hazel.” —Record Crates United
“It evokes a sense of spaciousness, weaving together instrumental themes of solitude, wonder, and awe. The music feels haunting in places and warm in others, much like the work of Daniel Lanois, perhaps especially on Brian Eno’s 1983 album Apollo.” —The Third Eye
Digital Reaction
Released on Ropeadope July 14, 2023
Featuring Jamaaladeen Tacuma (bass), Lushlife (vocals), Jason Nazary (drums), Bryan Murray (sax), Ron Stabinsky (keys), Elizabeth Pupo-Walker (percussion), Johnny DeBlase (bass), and Katie Rey (vocals).
“Thrilling, adventurous and — more often than not — a whole lot of fun. Oh, and of course, there’s a lot of radical guitar work from Millevoi that lands in that very sweet spot between Quine and Sharrock.” —Aquarium Drunkard
“One of the best guitarists on the planet … It’s the way he uses his skill and technique to explore unexpected zones and, perhaps most notably, have some damn fun always grabs me.” —Foxy Digitalis
“From industrial rap to nightmarish jazz-fusion and bent guitar abstractions, Digital Reaction is a high-octane gallery of Millevoi’s varied strengths and boundless versatility.” —Record Crates United
“Digital Reaction has all the wide ranging guitar-led gumption and fortitude of Marc Ribot’s Ceramic Dog but with Nick Millevoi’s own stamp, marshaling shards of most everything he’s done up this point while adding a few new tricks.” —Something Else
Gilded Form
Released on Burning World Records December 1, 2023
Featuring Otto Kokke (synth) and René Aquarius (drums)
“[Gilded Form] glows in the dark, sparkles in the sun, radiates during the blue hours of the madrugada and magically makes everyone smile. Could this be an instrumental Beach Boys record that has just resurfaced? An old Can demo? A shiny version of a Lustmord-track? Yes, all of that – and more. This is Golden.” —Veil of Sound
“An ethereal song section that never has to end.” —Sleeping Shaman
The Sounds of
Grassy Sound
Released on vinyl and digital July 8, 2022 by Destiny Records.
Grassy Sound is Nick Millevoi and Ron Stabinsky (organ) with special guests Derrick Bostrom (drums), Cris Kirkwood (bass, vocals), and Curt Kirkwood (vocals).
“There’s no shortage of musicians who can put their hands on a Hammond organ, Wurlitzer electric piano or a closet full of Fender products. But how many of them would have the notion to start a tune with some stuttering Dick Dale licks balanced atop an organ groove so greasy that you could fry some eggs on it, then plunge halfway through into a psychedelic maelstrom of flicker and feedback?” —Magnet Magazine
“Dick Dale tunes or laidback Bernard Hermann soundtracks infected by red-hot shredding and sketchy carnival Hammond C-3 organ work.” —Record Crates United
“Waltzing surf motifs bounce through neon memories tinged with hints of supernatural horror and the space race.” —Foxy Digitalis
“Saturday matinee B-movie sci-fi ambiance as instrumental freakout and a touch of the ol’ maestro Morricone.” —The Vinyl District
Numbers Maker
Desertion Trio
Released on CD on April 23, 2021 by Cuneiform Records.
Desertion Trio is Nick Millevoi (guitar), Johnny DeBlase (bass), Jason Nazary (drums).
“Blends the sounds of early electric Miles with James Bond-era John Barry (and Vic Flick).” —Jazztimes
“Intersects the unnerving terrain between Pete Cosey, Eddie Hazel, and Sonny Sharrock.” —AllMusic Guide
“A 100 mph trip from the word ‘go.’” —Foxy Digitalis

Book and digital record released September 27, 2019/December 4, 2020.

“Music that holds a distinct sense of place … the soulful openness and windy bluster all over these Streets are distinctively his.” —Jazztimes
“To have a project like this that puts the city on a pedestal, warts and all proudly displayed, feels like the most Philly thing” —WXPN’s The Key
Twilight Time
Desertion Trio
Released on LP on April 26, 2019 by Long Song Records.
