On the occasion of International Workers Day we are happy to issue this live recording from The Myrrors 2018 European tour archives: four tracks captured in-the-red from the room at Das Bach in Vienna, Austria. This is one of our favourite live recordings (that we know of, at least) and is hopefully a glimpse into actually being there up front in the middle of the sound. Much thanks to everyone who came out and voiced their support that night!
'Some bands plod, some gallop, but The Myrrors—ah, they drift. They unfurl. Like incense smoke in a crumbling ziggurat, or the first long shadows cast by sunrise over the Sonoran basin. And now, from deep within the psychic stew of their European wanderings, comes Red Vienna: Live in Austria, a holy relic captured on tape amidst a fog of electricity, sweat, and hallucinatory intent.
Recorded on a liminal night somewhere between the mountains and the mist, this document is less live album than ritual transmission, piped in through the broken radio of a ghost train circling forever between Aleppo and Nogales. This ain't no glorified board tape or souvenir bootleg—it’s a proper mind melt, tuned in full to the ancient frequencies. You can practically hear the amps humming in communion with the local ley lines.
The Myrrors have long trafficked in sounds that feel both older and weirder than the maps allow—somewhere between the ecstatic drone worship of The Theatre of Eternal Music and the and the sun-scorched minimalism of Terry Riley on a mescaline bender. . On Red Vienna, they stretch their already elastic palette into pure sprawl. Eastern modes loop like serpents devouring their own tails, while desert-dusted guitars spiral upward like sunstroke mirages. The rhythm section? Less timekeepers than time-benders. You don’t tap your foot to this stuff—you leave your body.
At times the whole affair feels channeled more than performed. Is this music, or is it weather? Are those drums, or are they just the sound of thunder rolling in off some long-forgotten steppe?
Red Vienna isn’t a retrospective—it’s a portal. A cracked reel of sound that leads somewhere strange, ancient, and ferociously alive.
Listen loud, and don’t be surprised if the furniture rearranges itself'. (Dave Cambridge)
