Mayumi - Myriad Luminescent
I’m sure like me you like to see the underdog doing well and you like a rags to riches story as well?
Ok so the transition isn’t complete yet but thanks to the power of the internet and more precisely eBay Mayumi makes a return to the music scene.
Mayumi is a multi instrumentalist who apparantly was a college radio regular back in the late 90’s. She had all but given up on a recording career, when she noticed that her CDs were fetching bids on eBay.
Touched by the fact that people were still interested in her music, she set about recrding a brand new single. Myriad Luminescent is based very definetly around the shoegazing bands sound of the late 80’s and early 90’s (no mean achievement for one person on her own!)
Think Lush and My Bloddy Valentine meeting in a soundclash of swirling guitars and dreamy vocals and you won’t be far away. The title song on this three tracker is the strongest, just edging out Careless (Shield My Eyes). Can’t say I was particularly bowled over by Snowflake Beach (Cosmic Version) but two out of three ain’t bad if you ask me.
