Spring In Your Step: Mymeans “Souiu Ko To Data”

It opens like a bunch of kids who listened to Marquee Moon a couple dozen times and went from there, until they let their peppy sides come through and ease back on the stutter-step guitar work.

Yet for all the sunny-day vibes, there is friction – guitars stop and start, and Mymeans aren’t afraid to let a little squall rise up. Listen below.

The producer’s 2015 demo Heavenly Disorders highlighted that well, with chirpy little synth numbers wandering off in all sorts of directions, but most of the creations featuring a melodic grounding of some sort — even if said grounding moved out of frame quickly after.
