Nothing Or Something To Die For Mui Zyu SKU: FD127LPC1 Barcode: 0792671668657 24.00 £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Father/Daughter Records Released Date: 24th May 2024 Buying Format: 1LP Glow In The Dark Vinyl Forthcoming Pre Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info As mui zyu, Hong Kong British artist Eva Liu searches for a portal, wandering between nothing and everything in her pursuit of peace. On her second full-length album nothing or something to die for she looks outward, embracing the chaos with each tentative step. mui zyu’s debut album Rotten Bun for an Eggless Century saw her explore her heritage, as she dived inward to find acceptance and healing. Now, instead of searching for answers from the inside, Liu raises her head to look at the world around her. As she attempts to understand the complexities and significance of human existence, she observes apathy alongside overwhelming chaos; the technological advancements of connection with the lack of meaningful bonds and the frustrations of upholding standards set by others. nothing or something to die for tries to decipher these juxtaposing truths, holding both the weight of those trying to destroy the world with the utter futility of it all. Working with co-producer and fellow Dama Scout band member Luciano Rossi, the sonic world of nothing or something to die for encapsulates both the fleeting tranquility of serenity and the dissonance in chasing it. After all, our reality can change in an instant. Like the psychedelic tones of Ryuichi Sakamoto’s Thousand Knives, the urgent techno-pop of Miharu Koshis Parallelisme or the eerie wanderings of Angelo Badalamenti’s work for Twin Peaks, nothing or something to die for expertly toes the line between disorder and clarity. Lead-single “the mould,” which is inspired by moving on from the past and pushing against the grain to attain inner peace. “Missing the dread, obsessed with it,” Liu sings over a shifty instrumental, carried by blocky drum machines, sharp guitars, and woozy synthesizers. The track is accompanied by a psychedelically youthful video inspired by creepy ‘90s kids shows, directed by 3D artist and Dama Scout member Danny Grant. Creatively toying with VR sculpting techniques, the otherworldly visuals came to life as Grant intentionally misused the high-end VFX software Houdini. It plays into the song’s wonkiness, heightening its empowering transcendence. On the track, Eva Liu shares: “‘the mould’ is a frosted glacial sweetie about the many meanings of mould. mould is very cool, and the right kind can give you super powers. unfortunately though, it’s less than ideal to be squeezed in to a mould that doesn’t fit snuggly. so i’m at the bottom of the rotten jelly bowl trying to work out what mould is the good kind, and what is the bad kind, and maybe realising none of it really matters at all, as long as i can get out of this steep, slippery bowl. this also marks a new approach for my writing indicative of the whole record in a kind of anti-overture-y way.” “Eva Liu solo debut could be labeled dream pop, but it’s a daring, even disorientating version” – MOJO “An immersive dreamworld of shapeshifting soundscapes” – PITCHFORK “mui zyu makes music for feeding broken hearts” – THE LINE OF BEST FIT “A beguiling lo-fi pop delicacy” – ROUGH TRADE “Rotten Bun for Eggless Century” is an enigmatic and bewitching listen” – DIY Magazine Artist Mui Zyu Genre Rock And Pop Label Father/Daughter Records Buying Options 1LP Glow In The Dark Vinyl Format 1LP , Glow In The Dark Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings satan marriage the mould everything to die for donna like parasites the rules of what an earthling can be please be okay (feat.
