Milo Greene is a self-described cinematic indie pop band that formed in Los Angeles, California. Milo Greene is a quartet, with three lead singers. Band members Robbie Arnett, Graham Fink, and Marlana Sheetz share lead and backing vocal duties, often switching instruments during performances with Curtis Marrero on percussion.

The band described their sound to Lauren Moraski of CBS News by explaining, "'Originally when we started this band we wanted to create music that we could potentially see being placed in movies and TV,' said singer/multi-instrumentalist Sheetz. 'We really love scoring and that's how we wanted the music to sound. Very cinematic -- which is kind of why we like to call it cinematic-pop.'"

Milo Greene is the name of a fictitious booking agent, a persona created by the band to help them get gigs in the early days of playing shows. The band describes Milo's identity to The Guardian: "He's British. He wears a three-piece-suit. He wears a monocle. He's albino. He has chops, sideburns. He's confident, charming, well-read, well-spoken. He's a gentlemen [sic], the kind of guy we all aspire to be." The band decided to keep the name of their fictitious booking agent for the group.

On 30 September 2014, Milo Greene announced that their sophomore album, Control would be released on 27 January 2015. The band described the new album's tone as a departure from the more folk-based sounds of their previous work, and instead more upbeat and percussive.

On October 6, 2012, Milo Greene released a short film entitled Moddison. Written by the band and directed by Chad Huff, the film consists of a series of individual music videos for every song on their debut album "Milo Greene" that, when played in album order, make up the film. It was filmed across a span of five days at a cabin on Shaver Lake in California.
