PNN 020EP
|
PNN turns five! They celebrate their birthday with the 20th PNN release, publishing their most original artist, Hendrik Meyer aka Myr.. Apparently Innocent is a four-track EP beginning with "That's Right, Pop", which revels in Kölscher Euphoria. "Beach Bag" is reminiscent of Matt Karmil's sound cosmos, stumbling charmingly to endlessness. The third track "She Hums" is a Myr. classic for the dancefloor and finally "One-Eyed Reilly" revitalizes the shuffle and leads Myr. to new glamor.

The PNN label's most enigmatic artist, myr., presents his full-length debut, Diamondbacks Make Wonderful Pets. The album's nine tracks represent an exciting evolution in myr.'s trajectory as an artist, following his 2015 debut EP, Nobody Knows Avalon (PNN 010EP). myr. seems to have dug deep and discovered another level to his sound. Each of the tracks on the record is confidently offbeat and precisely composed. "A Little-Bitty Bowl (with B.Hotton)" mixes thunder sound-effects with glitchy synth bleeps, layering them above darker tones that build to a perfect storm in the middle. myr.'s ability to carry off strange hybrids is what makes his music unique. From the ghostly warbles of "I Think I Hear Them Coming" to the sunnier sounds of "Eleanor," myr.'s disregard for the norm has led to an exceptional album that surprises at every turn.

PNN 010EP

Though some might view myr.'s deliberate anonymity as nothing more than a publicity stunt, there is surely something refreshing about myr.'s decision to step back at a time when the cults of DJ and celebrity are often intertwined. An underlying warmth and grittiness distinguish this music from the near-perfect production of popular techno. The minimal beats of "Nobody Knows" and "Avalon" create a sense of anticipation, leaving the listener with itchy feet and a hankering for more. "Homii" delivers a change in tempo: the monotone beats make way for some slowed-down, trippy vocals, opening the listener up to myr.'s versatility.
