BANK MYNA – eimuria – VINYL LP (black)

Heavier and more direct than its equally dark and ritualistic predecessor ‘VOLAVERUNT’, Bank Myna’s forthcoming opus, ‘EIMURIA’, combines lightness and absolute darkness through a palette of influences matured over the last few years: obsidian-tinged post-rock, doom incursions and delicate slowcore with mystical overtones dot the five tracks of a breathless, cathartic album. At times loud and intense, at other times minimalist and profound, the sound atmospheres alternate and serve a more assertive narrative, where the solemn slides irrevocably towards distortion, bringing an electric fury that we hardly knew existed within Bank Myna, as a counterpoint to the airy melancholy.
The album, recorded in a live setting, captures the palpable osmosis between the musicians with sensitivity and spontaneity, thanks to ample, warm sounds.
Especially inspired by the tumultuous lives and artistic productions of the poetess Alejandra Pizarnik and the sculptor Camille Claudel, and deeply intimate, this second album recounts a process of personal transformation, interspersed with brutal ruptures.
