D.Y.I. (Do Yourself in)

Vinyl LP pressing. 2014 release from the Indie Punk band. Only a year on from their debut, Muuy Biien have undergone an evolution nearly as startling as the primordial fish that grew lungs and crawled onto land. It's a band that is about to make the lazy comparisons of the past - to Savages, to Iceage, to Joy Division, to the Fall -seem ridiculous. It may be all anger and brutality on the surface, but there's a Pop sensibility at it's heart, a buoyancy that TIWYMI lacked. That album was a pure laser beam of black and white rage, but DYI finds the band slowing down ever so slightly and allowing things into the songs - melody, vulnerability, dynamics, hooks - that up till now you had to look closely to find. Muuy Biien is the real thing.
