Indrek Tamm and Joel Tammik form the creative duo of Myrakaru hailing from Tallinn, Estonia. Their debut on UK’s Expanding Records reveals an emotive flow of delicate electronica –it comes as no surprise from this imprint.
Blending classical influences on tracks such as “Las Minna” and “Süüskuu ,” Myrakaru seamlessly create panoramic snapshots of soothing frequencies within each track; a mixture of subtlety and unusual sound-escapes is the theme. On the other hand, there’s a subliminal murkiness tucked within pieces like “Kimalnu,” “Limurite Tekond,” and “Varinä” revealing a darker side of Tammetõru‘s pulse. Just as you drift into the horizon with precision melodies, you begin to descend through curious shadows of sound. “Sinamus” unveils a rhythmic sputter of beats floating on a bed of delicate melodies and enriched ambiences –“Kirjatupal” weaves its layer of soft fluttering as “Jalk” rests peacefully in the sunshine. It’s these contrasting waves of electronic motion that makes this debut so appealing. It may come across as just another ‘IDM’ album, but it shouldn’t be tagged as such. Bridging the void between Novel 23’s passionate melodies and Lackluster’s bright analog frequencies, Myrakaru’s sound is both uplifting and magnetic. It’s quite easy getting acquainted with Tammetõru‘s uninterrupted electronica as it projects an emotional and contemplative view on life.
Tammetõru is out now on Expanding.
