February 1st / March 30th 2023

Single / EP Release

Mylar bring out the Art-Pop sound of 2023 on their new single

London Art-Pop quartet Mylar announces their sophomore EP 'Human Statues', which is out on the 30th of March via Blue Flowers. To go with it new single 'Hobby Horse' is accompanied by another stunning visualiser featuring animation by Yasmine Tara Opre Djedje-Fisher-Azoume, which you can see on this page. 'Hobby Horse' follows the EP’s first single 'Stay Close', which was released in late 2022. 'Human Statues' was inspired by an incident after a gig in Portsmouth when someone asked the band “Why are you all so tall, are you Dutch?”/ It’s also a reference to living statues, and the strange and subtle contradictions inherent in being motionless for posterity.

Mylar dropped 'Plastic Champ' in early 2022... an exemplary breakout single satirising the fragility of inherited forms of masculinity, before releasing debut EP 'Elsewhere that April'. Their music drew early praise from Notion, Clash, Brooklyn Vegan, The New Cue, The Independent, The Sunday Times, The Line of Best Fit, Disco Naïveté and many others. Mylar’s first EP for the acclaimed London label Blue Flowers. 'Elsewhere that April' explored the universality of vulnerability and feelings of being trapped by the relentless flow of time or circumstances. It was released alongside 'Trailblazer', a mordant meditation on toxic charisma set to warped Disco Pop.

'Hobby Horse' and 'Stay Close' build on the upbeat, polychromatic sonic environments of 'Elsewhere that April' and was also produced by the band between London and Madrid. It was mixed in Spain by Iñaki de las Cuevas. The band will headline London’s Shacklewell Arms on the day of the EP release, the 30th March and before that will perform at The George Tavern as part of Independent Venue Week on the 2nd of February.
