Until the fight by Mythie: EP Review

Until the fight is a top-class act by Mythie, filled with 5 electronic alt-pop numbers, featuring trip-hop and dark pop. This is also Mythie’s debut EP, and the first part that circles on the subject of “inner beasts” especially in the first two tracks, “Spectator” and “Mermaids”.

Each song is conceived as a step on a path from the shadows into the light, leading the listener deep into his own mind and letting him follow the wild archetypes that reside there. The song “Whisper” and “The Wolf Song” might just be the highlights for me, especially for the lyrical brilliance of the former and the composition and eerie Lana Del Rey-like vocals of the female vocalist in the latter track. Mythie’s enigmatic voice is heard spliced and mingled with other voices (those of Anais Nin, Robert Burns, and Guy Debord) over an electronic music backdrop, evoking the eerie and hypnotic pop of FKA Twigs or Björk as well as trip-hop, experimental, and alternative electronic realms.

The iridescence that the EP “Until the fight” creates, truly makes Mythie stand out as a rising project with the power to control whichever space their songs are played in. If you get the chance to spare a few minutes this week, this album won’t disappoint. And if you are fond of deliciously eerie soundscapes, in the middle of the night, this one holds the candle out for you all!
