Brooklyn alt rock/new wave/pop power trio New Myths is the collaboration of Brit Boras (guitar/lead vocals), Rosie Slater (drums/vocals), and Marina Ross (bass/vocals). The trio writes what they love, combining elements from bands such as Garbage, Elastica, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and The Pretenders.
In 2012, New Myths released their self-titled EP. The first single, “False Gold” was immediately featured by Lou Reed on his XM radio show and used in several ad campaigns for companies such as Gucci and Reef Surfwear. Via their own record label, NEW MYTHS released their debut LP, Give Me Noise, in 2014.
Glide is premiering New Myths’ forthcoming EP, All The Shiny Things, due November 12. The EP was recorded with producer/engineer/mixer Seth Glassman in upstate NY that showcases the band sporting an explosive and passionate guitar rock sound that is parts Joy Formidable and parts early Sleater-Kinney. The album’s five tracks sport a righteous rock fury sorely missing today, where scalding vocals, propulsive drums and filthy riffs. Check it out in full below.
“We just really wanted to have some fun with this EP, and explore a heavier rock sound, which is closer to how we sound live. We let loose and really leaned into something more upbeat, which is what we all had been moving towards since our last album release. We laughed (a lot) while recording in upstate NY with our producer Seth Glassman, and played around, while maintaining a sound that still made us want to go out and kick some doors down. We wanted to create something that we had all been looking to listen to but couldn’t exactly find, and had a really fucking good time in the process,” says the band.
