Mythomaniacs Are Right - There Is No Such Thing As Death, Life Is Only A Dream And We Are The Imagination Of Ourselves (2011)
/Noise, Avant-garde, Spoken word, Experimentalism, Sound collage, Cut and paste/
Comment: Mythomaniacs Are Right is a musical project from Chile making an apparent attempt for a very sort of cutting edge music. Massive digital noise plateaus, through the backbone drilling cacophony, divergent strums, ticking (quasi-)beats, loosely running-dropping bleak bleeps (regarding this aspect, it does sound quite similar to Mùm, an Icelandic post-rock/electronica group), weird-contexted outtakes (sampling the Voice, for instance), spoken word snippets, and at times absurd-like/very funny song titles. And the album title says much about us. This is not pop music during most of its course at all - rather it is a try to re-create a kind of new metaphysics (sound can be considered much stronger argument than any combination of words).
