Genre/Influences: Indie-pop, pop-rock.
Background/Info: Myselfson is a French duo
based in Paris and which is now active since 2009. “Memory Park” is the band’s
debut album.
Content:
Myselfson claims to be
inspired by bands such as Depeche Mode and NIN. I can’t really hear those bands
in their music, but the mix of influences, ranging from pop to rock, are quite
noticeable elements. Electronics and guitar are pretty complementary creating
this open-minded sonic canvas. I also noticed some more ballad-minded passages
with mainly piano sounds.
+ + + :
The diversity of the
songs makes it interesting as you for sure will find tracks that will catch
your attention. I like the songs with explicit electronic sound treatments such
as “Every Night Is A Fight” and the well-crafted and more sophisticated “At The Far Side Of The World”. I
think this band has more potential moving on an explicit electro-way. I also
want to catch your attention this band is working in a pure DIY style resulting
in an honest work.
– – – :
Even if Myselfson is
already active for several years I still have the impression they’re a bit in
search of a real sound identity.
Conclusion:
There are some real good
ideas running through this work, but ideas aren’t enough to speak about a fully
successful album. However I feel this band can do better and this work can be a
basis to move on with.
Best songs:
“Every Night Is A Fight”,
“At The Far Side Of The World”, “Wake Up”.
