It feels calm and breezy, but also somewhat tense. "Morning After" is a lot closer to the lush, baroque folk-pop of Weyes Blood's albums, but there's something a bit disturbed about it. "Daddy, Please Give a Little Time to Me" is a woozy waltz over languid bass synth and a slapping beat, and the brief, pretty song would be a lot more relaxing if Mering's lyrics weren't so creepy. Think "Some Velvet Morning" but cartoonish and somewhat ridiculous. There's also a bridge that cuts off mid-thought. Opener "Tears on Fire" is a schizophrenic, collage-like tune that abruptly flips between gentle, dreamy acoustic psych-pop and bombastic hard rock, with Mering's operatic vocals joined by blazing prog-metal guitar and Pink's full-throated growl. The EP contains four playful, eclectic songs that gleefully switch genres at will, displaying a sense of humor common to Pink's work but not always evident in Mering's. This volume brings together Ariel Pink and Weyes Blood ( Natalie Mering), who have worked together before - Mering sang on Pink's 2012 album Mature Themes, and both artists appeared together on albums by Mild High Club and Drugdealer. Myths 002 is the second release in a series of collaborative EPs spawned from the annual Marfa Myths festival, held in Marfa, Texas in association with nonprofit organization Ballroom Marfa and the Brooklyn-based Mexican Summer label.
