It’s like a bad matchmaking site for mainstay indie musicians. The Myths series pairs together musicians to create bodies of work, Cate le Bon and Bradford Cox were given a week to complete theirs, titled ‘Myths 004’ . And my god, it’s pure shit.
The EP begins pretty well with ‘Canto!’, and ‘Secretary’, but then plummets. It sounds as if they recorded the warmup instead of the actual music. It’s a cacophony of noise, not music, pure noise. It’s really bad, a seriously horrific piece. It sounds as if they gave a shit about the first two songs and then punched a keyboard, kicked a few guitars and threw some drums down a flight of stairs for the rest.
To be honest, when I look over the Myths series, they’re all pretty poor, so if we’re going by actual myths, can someone please put a stake in the heart of this series? Can someone please shut Pandora le Bon’s box and keep all those tunes locked away?
I need to stop writing this review just so I can stop listing to Myths 004. Fuck me, I really wish it was a genuine myth…
Haiku Review:
Like Pandora’s box,
Myths has unleashed some real shite.
Should have kept it shut.
Listen to Myths 004 on Spotify, and Apple Music
