The Technoillogical Myopia exist between the fragile musings of a warped mind and the tender touch of an angel. Other-worldly, born of the subconscious mind interjected with rock guitars, stonking kit and jagged vocals they are a breed apart from our usual Sunday offerings.
Well you can't get much of a handle on what they do. And good thing that you can still be surprised when there are more bands about than pebbles on Brighton beach. I was trying to push them in the direction of collaborating on a film project somehow. Their music is fairly extreme, not for the musically entrenched and requires an open mind

each song sounds as a new exploration!
author: side-line music magazine
The name of this British project is as complex as their sound. TM composes a mix of electronics and rock, which in the opening song entitled “Letter” sounds like the offspring between Ladytron and Portishead. The influence of Portishead is probably the only one that comes back on regular basis, but the songs are more bombastic and even chaotic. The “Autoexit” also evokes distant wave influences, but each song sounds as a new exploration!

Non perdetevi questa grande emozione!
author: Rosa Selvaggia Obscure Magazine
Incomincio questa nuova rubrica spostata sul web con una grande release. Molto spesso si confonde erroneamente net-label con musica non buona per essere pubblicata. Mai errore fu più grande! Registrato tra Londra e Brighton e mixato nella capitale Islandese questo e.p. è una piccola perla. Questo quartetto si muove tra indie-electro-dub/trip hop-acustico con estrema disinvoltura, eleganza e raffinatezza. Reminiscenze dei grandi The Gathering (quelli acustici), Pj Harvey e Nick Cave mescolato ad un sapore esotico spagnolo. Un voce, quella di Ana, assolutamente superba. Un release che come dice la Open lab rec. ‘non può lasciare indiferrenti’. Presto questo e.p. verrà stampato e presto li vedremo sulla lunga distanza. Non perdetevi questa grande emozione!

'Magma' is a skillful balance between experimentation and clarity.
author: Leonard's Lair
With a manifesto even more unwieldy than their name, The Technoillogical Myopia claim that their EP "suppurates eclecticism and imbibes from the musical flowing of our time". Thankfully a degree in English Language is not necessary to enjoy their dark, electronic music which - although always lyrically adventurous - is easier to listen to than you might expect. The first three tracks form a basis of the mood which is unsettling and tense but never oppressive. However, the final three tracks are far more direct thanks to Ana's strong vocal performance and a more conventional approach to song structure; 'Mantra' and 'War' deliciously embracing modern goth dramatics. Ultimately, 'Magma' is a skillful balance between experimentation and clarity.
