Portrait of an Artist: The Solars’ Miles P. Hewitt

THC: What’s one of your favorite songs?

MH: I really, really think that “Dance Yrself Clean” by LCD Soundsystem is one of the songs of our time, the last ten years. It’s so f**king great. Because it’s really just such a song about being in your late twenties, and all the deception and self-loathing that goes into the really pure [feeling], get-you-by-the-throat-hipster.

THC: Who else do you think is an artist of our time?

MPH: I think Kendrick Lamar is the artist of our time. He’s just so, so surefooted. He doesn’t even have a choice of what he says, it just comes. God or whatever is just whispering straight to his ear, it’s kind of chilling.

THC: Tell me about your EP.

MPH: There’s four tracks on the EP. There’s three that’ve already been released, but this is the real version now. And one of them is kind of new, it was actually one of the first songs that I wrote when I came to Harvard, freshman year. The album is called “Retitled Remastered,” which is kind of ironic because you know, it’s actually our first album, and we’re not really “remastering” it. And also with Kendrick Lamar’s “Untitled Unmastered.” We’re going to be playing at a release party in the Red Room on April 20, and the album comes out the next day.
