Oddly, I don’t think Mike Mills would work as the lead singer of R.E.M. but his voice is lovely and I think the relatively sparing use of it is a genius move on the part of that band

Insane vocal range, bigger than most opera stars. Born to do it.

The solo Mike songs were a rare treat for sure, and so often he’ll just come through with a little backing line or repetition and it’ll just be the sweetest cherry on top.

when you think about it, it’s amazing how much variety there is in the human voice and how many different ways you can enjoy it. What a blessing

Can be a bit spiky/jangly in places but generally in an ethereal proto-shoegaze space
