"Artrocker Album Review"

"The word ‘Myernark’ means ‘Music that dances between the realms of theatricality and art’, and this is what exactly this album does... ‘Dale’s Song’ bounds across electronic lands of spiky synths and colourful clouds of harmonies whereas ‘Stillness’ slows right down and loiters in dark watery caves. People who like the madder side of Bowie will revel in the art-school thinking behind this remarkable record." - Jessica Hazel, Artrocker


"ICFQ Album Review"

“inventive… and the production is excellent… this band could accomplish wonders.” - Matusek, ICFQ


"On Myernark"

"It's like standing and looking at a piece of art, only to have it walk right out of its frame, you try and move away from it, but only find yourself hooked and entranced by its uniqueness and wonder." - Kizzy H. Infusedzine


"Review of Myernark, Movers & Shakers at Brixton Jamm"

"the dreamy and often lustful remainder of the set was just about the only one to fully understand quite how important it is for a live performance to reach out and engage with the audience... they made such a difference from the sapping indie that permeates too much of live music.” - MLA


"The Mag Album Review"

“this is a great album… The reason this record works, despite the band trying out various beats, sounds and vocal ideas, is because the songs are all reasonably constructed. They aren't experimenting with the concept of a song, just the sounds used to produce it…. One of the greatest successes of this record is Myernark's ability to fold world-rhythms into their music. This gives some of the songs an earthy ethnic feel…this record rather special…This really is a unique album, that certainly deserves critical acclaim.”” - Steve, The Mag , http://www.the-mag.me.uk


"Rokpool Rokmag Album Review"

" Much touted epic, new-new romantic synth-goth shimmeriness. We like." - http://www.rokpool.com/content/rokmag


"TIme Out Live"

“Myernark play art-school electro-pop with a funky live twist” - Time Out


"Bubblegum Slut Album Review"

“You don’t need an art-school education to appreciate it, this is a really quite mesmerizing album.” - Bubblegum Slut Fanzine

Bio

Myernark began as a solo project in London by Jonathan Young. It has since grown to include his conductor brother Michael and the half Guyanese, half English son-of-a-beauty queen architect Rion Willard. Recorded over the last 2 years, the self titled debut album started life as just rhythm and melody etched onto a computer. A background in drumming, rather than the guitar, provided the basis for a minimalist sound, engorged by improvised vocal harmony. While the resulting surface pointers for the ears might be legends such as The Cure, Depeche Mode and David Bowie, this does rough justice to the originality and range of the music; it likewise so with the sometimes heard alternative Myernark label (however more apt this might be) of ‘feral seductive pop…’
