PORTLAND — Empire Dine and Dance presents Milo Greene, a collection of voices that live and breathe simultaneously with the breadth of an omniscient, collective consciousness. The melodies invoke long drives down the California coast and the feeling of leaving home. There is something meditative about it, as though it asks to be listened to alone and given one’s full attention.

“We had no TV, no Internet, we had a fire going, and we had to hush the dogs,” member Robbie Arnett said, acknowledging that the environment probably accounted for their music’s pastoral feel, as well as its meticulous attention to detail.

Marlana Sheetz said, “Every place we’ve made music has been isolated, and it has certainly helped us focus.”

Milo Greene’s formal recording sessions for their self-titled debut with co-producer Ryan Hadlock (Ra Ra Riot, Blonde Redhead, The Gossip, The Lumineers) followed suit; they took place at Bear Creek Studio, a converted circa-1900 barn in the country near Seattle.

Wielding four-part harmonies and indelible melodies over sprawling, percussive arrangements, there is no lead singer of Milo Greene. They work powerfully as a team, yet each member is unique and can stand on his/her own.

This event takes place at 9 p.m., Saturday, Mar. 2 at Empire Dine and Dance, 575 Congress St., Portland. Tickets are $12 in advance, $15 day of show. This is a 21+ event. Buy tickets online at www.statetheatreportland.com, www.portlandempire.com or at any Bull Moose Music Store.
