about

Mild Myopia is a collection of songs that convey the state of blurriness one gets by moving from the outside summer light to a dark room. The album’s lyrical themes reflect this dizziness, covering gratefulness and thanksgiving, indifference to inner-city political upheaval, unfair distribution of wealth, mind-altering substances, distance in relationships, dreams of video game consoles, painful doubts, freeing your mind, conscious breathing, tavern drunkenness, and attraction to darkness.

The album was originally intended to be a messy collection of B-sides and outtakes but turned out more cohesive than expected. The magic is that all these disparate leftovers fit together almost by chance, like musical meatloaf. The band structured the meatloaf into three equal slices. The first slice is a selection of experimental home demos impossible to recreate in the studio. The second slice is a few digestible songs recovered from an overtly ambitious studio session in Barcelona. The third slice is composed of fresh off-the floor studio outtakes recorded in a garage on the outskirts of Seville. Any layer of the meatloaf can be swallowed first or last. Each leftover has pieces from the others as they were baked out of the same mould. This mould is Best of Feelings.
