Brooklyn trio Myra Lee releases their debut album "Capture The Flag." The band was formerly known as Dino Expedition, with members including Tahlia Amanson, Aiden Velazquez, and McCabe Teems. The new name is taken from Cat Power's 1996 album "Myra Lee."
The work was completed in a basement recording studio in New York's Lower East Side, with all six songs recorded live. Open tunings, gritty fuzz, steadily building drums, and clear vocals preserve the tension of the rehearsal room, while also carrying the loose texture where Shoegaze meets 90s indie rock.
Songs like "Magpie" and "Ten" delve into family relationships, identity, sexuality, addiction, and memory. The sound is not overly polished, and the instability in emotion and performance is left fully intact, forming the most direct part of this album.
