I Mean Us - OST (2018) EN

Both lively and energetic as well as dreamy and oneiric, this is the guitar shoegaze by I Mean Us from Taiwan. "OST" indeed is an official soundtrack made for the situation "between us", as the musicians state, and it overflows with guitar noise and emotional comments about being in relationship.

The artists fascinate with the dialogical vocals, the woman-man disputes always sound well presented like that, this time the soft and war male vocal sounds perfect together with high-pitched, very Far East-like female one. Their tracks also revolve around woman-man topics, the ones to weep to. No wonder they describe their work with some made up genres like "Cry-crycore", "Post-murmur Rock", or "Broken-Hearted". Apart from the laces-like, delicate vocal, they know how to make some loud guitar sounds and even grandeur-filled atmosphere, as in "EYヨ".

But the album offers some surprises too, as in very aggressive "Johnny The Hero", bedroom pop in the following "Dance!" and some trip-hop vibes later. Nevertheless, the album is not balanced, I especially like the beginning and the finishing "死宝貝", but it is still a wort-checking out release.

"OST" unfortunately costs quite a lot, 15 USD.
