LISTEN: On “The River Song,” Mylo Choy Finds Comfort In Hushed Intensity

Mylo Choy finds comfort in the spaces between things. As a mixed-race and non-binary person, moving between worlds feels like home to them. Born and raised in Wisconsin, they also developed a strong connection to Hawai’i, where their mother is from. For over 10 years they worked in outdoor education, living and working in many places including Maine and Hawai’i, but mostly between the woods of Upstate New York and New York City. They currently live in the Hudson Valley, exploring planting roots in one place for a while. Mylo’s range of work — music, graphic stories, and comics — uses the inherent tension of multimedia to bring to life the space between worlds. Inspired by nature’s ability to offer peace
and perspective, their work reflects without dwelling and soothes without escaping.

“The River Song”, off of Mylo Choy’s latest Summer Projects Part 1 EP, is a sincere and vibrant track with a hushed intensity one would expect to find on your favorite Yo La Tengo record. The thick atmosphere, inspired by the South Carolina heat and humidity in the bedroom where the demos were recorded, makes for an enveloping listening experience you’ll wish was at least twice as long as the three-minute run time.
