POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Our debut album, Hold Your Ego Out Like A Sun, arrives September 16. We are excited to share that our first song and video, “Blue Cloud White Sky” is out today. 🌀☁️

Nighttime fuzz folk, love songs for the cosmos, a walk in the woods at dusk, Miyaxx is an honest weaving of worlds between the two of us (@sonicmonkeywrencher and @lealeathomas). Looking forward to sharing more of what we’ve been stirring up.

A limited run of vinyl is now available for pre-order as well. All the links in @thisismiyaxx bio 📡 thank you for tuning in and keeping the antennae up to the magic all around us.

Our debut album, “Hold Your Ego Out Like A Sun” is out today!

John and I are immensely proud of this record. We’ve been making music together for many years now and Miyaxx is the first project that feels like a true reflection of each of our strengths and influences- we played all of the instruments, recorded it in our studio, and John mixed it. Thanks to our friend @heba_kadry for lending her skills on the final masters.
HYEOLAS is of the seasons, the myths, the grasses, the wind and rain, hope, rest, being with the beauty in our world even when it feels hard to do these days- nighttime fuzz folk for all. Thank you for listening and all of the kind words so far. Miyaxx is just getting started 🌹🌹🌹

Hudson Valley community - Release show tomorrow night at @theavalonlounge with support from @lizibarra

Limited vinyl is available at our Bandcamp, link in bio.
