Tsu Na Mi

Description

Finding harmony after a long period filled with life disruptions: this is the challenge that I Me Mine brilliantly tackles on their third album Tsu Na Mi. Revealed at the Transmusicales thanks to an exceptional live energy, endorsed by the indie scene with their second album Ellipsis and notably its single "Expectations" feat. General Elektriks, the Franco-New Zealand trio now asserts a more indie rock artistic direction while maintaining their catchy melodies and vocal duality. While the group's first two albums drew from a legacy of the 60s and 70s, their new release combines a taste for analog and raw sounds characteristic of our time. Tsu Na Mi is underpinned by two major themes: introspection and criticism of inaction in the face of ecological collapse. "Childish World" serves as a reflection on the difficulties faced by Western societies in setting limits before spiraling into a storm of distortion. The funky bridge of "Harmonizer" exudes all the excitement of a new beginning, while the piano in "Man On The Moon" unfolds the melancholic tale of a morning shrouded in the blurry memories of the night. Dub calmness, feverish guitar solo, and martial drums: the eponymous track stands out as a response to the stifling atmosphere of cities. The view of a junkyard offered by the group's studio window seems to have permeated their music. This is how the members of I Me Mine envisioned their own storm to create a cathartic, unique, and raw album.
