Eighteen years since their debut release, Cologne-based record label Minimood prepare to unveil their next extended player from French producer MMYYLO.
Having previously etched his mark via Darlyn Vlys’ Polaris and Leipzig-based Jeahmon!, MMYYLO returns with ‘Queenside Knight‘ EP – an offering that reads like a clandestine cabaret under flickering strobes. Across six tracks, MMYYLO plunges into mutant darkwave corridors, where EBM radiates with nocturnal disco, forging a modular sound for the disenchanted, slithering beneath the skin of the night.
Standout track ‘Call Of The Pawns’ is a chugged-out procession clocking in at 120 BPM where spectral arpeggios spiral like flickering apparitions. The percussion snaps with ceremonial intent whilst swirling textures invoke ancient rituals. Amidst the haze, far-out vocal incantations rise like coded transmissions from an occult transmitter lost beneath the floorboards.
‘Queenside Knight’ EP is scheduled for release 20 June via Minimood. Order a copy from Bandcamp.
