Rainy Miller (VK) – real name Jack Bowes – created one of the finest albums of 2025 in the form of Joseph, What Have You Done?. Rainy Miller describes his aesthetic as Northern Gothic.
Joseph, What Have You Done? was released on Miller's own label, Fixed Abode, where he offers a roof to kindred spirits like Blackhaine – scarily impressive during the previous edition of BRDCST– and Iceboy Violet.
Crack Magazine: “Rainy Miller’s sound is a smorgasbord of avant-garde abstraction, amorphous RnB, ambient, industrial, drill, and early grime.” Sleek Magazine: “His sound blends raw vulnerability with textured sonic landscapes.”
He has already worked with the likes of Blood Orange, Actress, Mica Levi and Graham Sayle (High-Vis). Surprisingly, he considers his greatest influence to be Jim White’s wonderfully enduring album Wrong-Eyed Jesus. Millers’ live shows are described by Sleek Magazine as “intense, almost like installations”.
Rainy Miller: “The shows for me are always going to be exactly what I need them for, they are hour-long periods of just, explosive self-expression, in order to actually extrapolate all of the physical and emotional reactivity to those memories I’ve made the music about.”
