Montreal experimental metal duo mi mi release debut LP the complexity has to live somewhere
Montreal, QC — Existing somewhere at the of crux of shoegaze, doom, no wave and psych metal, Montreal experimental metal duo mi mi have announced their presence with their debut LP the complexity has to live somewhere, now available on Bandcamp. Produced and engineered by scene veteran Ky Brooks (Lungbutter), the recording is a wholly improvised chaos of doom riffs, looped noise, and dissociative feedback.
mi mi is the shared project of drummer Ro Chretien and guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Haakon Jack. Formed in 2019, the band’s sound explores the tension between Chretien’s propulsive, instinct-driven beats and the frenetic, of-the-cuff, experiments and emotive long-form progressions that Jack coaxes from their homemade partscaster guitars and snaky mountain of effects pedals.
Captured over just two days at Montreal’s famous Hotel2Tango studio, the complexity has to live somewhere is an album of rebuilding — both of relationships and of expectations, a proud nose-thumbing to debilitating perfectionism. As sonic pastiche pulling from everything-at-once walls of cymbals and bickering guitar layers, to voice-memo field recordings, mi mi’s debut is the unmistakable artefact of a volatile process that embraces its own messy impurities.
