Very pleased to announce the full-length collection Echo-Variations is officially out now on all digital platforms!

The 15-track collection presents exclusive remixes from an acclaimed group of international artists, all occupying unique and adventurous corners of the musical landscape

The special Ltd Edition Cassette is, to paraphrase, Manuel Göttsching … ‘slightly delayed.’ Sincere apologies for the lag, we will know more details very soon and will let you know

Many warm and gracious thanks to each artist/remixer for their wonderful contribution and to Daniel Shea and Joe Gilmore for the stunning artwork and design

We know there is so much music coming out these days so heartfelt thanks for all the support so far! Thank you so much for being part of this release.

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.
