ABOUT THE ARTIST
"Above all, Mirrek is our artistic voice. We refuse to live any other way than by that which we hold closest - our love for music. A lot of our own music is based on unspoken stories and surreal imagery that we usually try to implement into our composition. Experimental techniques, explosive distortion and delicate melodies are painted on what we have started to call our "wall of sound". Having so many dynamics helps us keep every creative outlet open. The idea of turning an instrumental three-piece into the sound of five leaves us with a lot of options... but honestly, we love the challenge. We try not to fit ourselves into a single genre. Not because we are against genres... but because it's actually been kind of difficult to peg one down. The music ranges from progressive/post rock to electronic, to experimental.
We like to think we're doing something unique and true to ourselves. We may not be on the top 10 radio or have the catchy lyrics everybody is used to, but we wouldn't have it any other way. It's more important to us that we play for a room full of people that we can really connect with than a stadium full of people that will forget our name in 6 months. Do or die, we are pretty much obsessed with what we have found together as musicians. And really, in the end, we just want to compose. We want to write music we love."
