New Myths

Outfit released 'Slowness' (stream it), making U.S. live debut this week at CMJ

UK band Outfit released their second album, Slowness, back in June. Where their debut was more in the Hot Chip realm of quirky dancepop, Slowness seems to take inspiration from Talk Talk’s late ’80s output…

Hum of Oblivion (ex-Jeane) shares new single "Where Ya Come From," playing Elvis Guesthouse tonight with New Myths

Some of you may remember Paul Dally who fronted shortlived NYC band Jeane (who were known as Vacation before that) who I really liked. His new project is Hum of Oblivion which is electronic pop, but very human sounding thanks to Dally’s weathered, emotive vocals…
