What little I've seen spelled out about this Denver trio makes reference to their psychedelic inclinations, and precious little else. I suppose you can truthfully shove a "psych" reference onto a majority of selections on
Hit or Myst, but I'm picking up on trace elements of post-punk, goth, and a relatively wide assortment of American indie rock and pop too. It's rare to hear a band with such a mid-fi aptitude convey the kind of mystique that
The Myst lend to their songs, the most memorable of which bear something of a hook - "Sympathy," "Seen it All Before" and the winsome, bittersweet closer "Orbit." Amazingly, the entire record was knocked off in one day on the cheap.
The Myst have made a vinyl rip of their lone LP available on Bandcamp. I thought I could make an improvement over it, but in all honesty there was a heck of a lot of surface noise on my copy I was only able to remedy so much. That being said, since it's available through them, I'm only going to make this one available for a couple weeks before I nix the link. Don't sleep.
