Cool production. Band rocks. Awesome vocal. Bit more dynamics might sound good maybe.

ECR 026 - MEIAN - DIVA PLAVALAGUNA

We are pleased to bring you another international collaboration by way of Morioka, Japan and Vancouver, Canada.

Crisp, perfectly executed Japanese screamo pairs with eclectic high octane synthcore for a four course meal that is guaranteed to rustle your jimmies.

This split has been a long time coming, with one band overcoming personal hardships and the other forming in the wake of dissolution from a previous project.

MEIAN's songs are highly polished without being overproduced and tell an engaging and emotional story through what sound like some of the finest sparkly overdriven single coils around. Their first track is downright groovy - the main riff is catchy and moody and feels like it could be the opening theme for the sequel Clone High never got. The music is as uplifting as it is commanding. Sonic comparisons to Sans Visage have been drawn and we can't say we disagree.

Vancouver's Diva Plavalaguna contains members of Emocat alumni Terrifying Girls' High School and Black Knight Satellite. Triple vocals, pervasive weird synth lines, non-stop drums, and busy guitar. A constant onslaught of noise. The opening song first reads as post-hardcore with screaming. A quick surfy passage transitions into bluesy gang vocals with tremolo-d guitar that turn into blastbeats and octave chords. The final song hits like a runaway train with the guitar, bass, and synth making as much noise as they are music. Although it seems like it could fall apart at any moment, every move is calculated.  "This is a family. What's mine is yours."

Additionally, Diva Plavalaguna have teamed up with illustrator Breanna McGowan on a comic series titled 'Diva! Digital Desert Duchess' that follows the band as protagonists in a post-apocalyptic future.

you took my hand
went through the dark
you said i'd be okay

our time has come
our time has gone
it's time to walk away

you shined the light on parts of me
i never thought i had
but things messed up along the way
and then it all went black
i hope one day for you that things wont be so bad.

i'll miss the times we stayed late
i'll miss the pancakes, i'll miss the dates.
but now it's time to walk away
from all the times i used to hate

i'll miss the cats, i'll miss your bed
i'll miss diego's chicken head
i'll miss the times we'll never have

it's all i had.
you took all that i had.

the end

catscratches

somebody's fiending around the corner
dopamine.
i looked for too long and i
fell in love.
accidents happen again, the same mistakes
i'm losing my friends.

i know i'm worthless
i know to give up
you don't care
don't pretend
i hate myself
this is the end
lay down in a grave
i'm nothing
end my suffering.
