Nothing hums the melodies of doom, gloom and utter uncertainty like Mythomania. After weeks of rain and gray skies, it gets to the point when the surviving sun-worshippers among us need to abandon our bathing suits and embrace the haunting fog. Cloud cover and moody weather call for a cool cup of coffee, some good company and, if you're lucky, some great tunes. Mythomania's dreary etherealness is the perfect soundtrack for embracing a fine line between dreams and reality. Nedelle Torrisi's tragically charming vocals and synth are almost as entrancing as her melancholy lyrics—luring listeners deeper and deeper into foreign soundscapes. From tracks about total destruction, chaos and disaster, the album's mood of refreshing apathy leaves listeners in a dazed state of bliss. What could possibly be a better way to go than being annihilated under a calming but cloudy sky? Let's face it, 2012 is just around the corner, but at least we can finally enjoy it: moody, mystical and totally mythomaniac.
