MØ - No Mythologies To Follow (LP)

burst onto the scene last year with the help of Diplo and his label Mad Decent, and has since been fast tracked into the limelight. Today marks the release of her debut album, No Mythologies To Follow, and it has the blogosphere all atwitter.


MØ is a Danish singer/songwriter that has been working her way into our headphones since 2012. She released a slew of singles that gained her solid traction in the Netherlands, including Maiden, Glass and Pilgrim. Her work on those tracks then garnered her some international attention, most notably from Ash Pournouri, Avicii's famous manager. Fun fact: MØ is actually the vocalist on Dear Boy which was featured on Avicii's 2013 album, True. After that fortunate feature, Diplo teamed up with her to release XXX 88, which is the lead single off of NMTF. Check out the video for the single below.


Now I will move on to the songs that peaked my interest the most off the album. First there was Slow Love. It had the kind of beat that has been tickling my fancy lately. The slower tempo house beat and the reverb soaked vocals pair perfectly together for this laid back jam. Check it out below.



I also really liked her song Dummy Head. I like the minimal beat and the use of guitar. This album has such an awesome range of beats used, and MØ knocks the vocals out of the park on each track. Groove to Dummy Head below.


The last track I want to cover is the one that I think lets her vocals shine the most. When she sings on Dust Is Gone, the beat takes the back seat for most of the track so her voice takes center stage. I love the lyrics and her delivery is captivating. Check out the softer side of MØ on Dust Is Gone below.


Check out the rest of the album on Spotify, as their are 12 other solid tracks that you haven't heard yet!

Enjoy! <3
