Tanner Merritt is an artist probably best known for being the vocalist in the post-hardcore band O'Brother. However, back in 2013 he released a solo album and now it's time for the follow-up in CYRUS I: WEIGHT OF REFLECTION.
The music here is very far from what the artist does with his band. The album shows a unique blend of various offstream genres including industrial electronica and goth rock with IAMX's vibes, all set within an ethereal atmosphere. The latter is provided mostly by the subtle vocals, never too loud and too expressive as the emotional part is conveyed by lyrics that talk about grief, anger and all the emotions that are human but also difficult to comprehend. They fit so well with the eclectic, very modern-sounding backgrounds. There's so much going on there with guitars, piano keys and a lot of electronic sounds, but they are still very able to sound very coherent and never over the top. This helps in achieving probably the mot important goal here: being catchy and moody and intimate at the same time.
And moody it is for sure. The quiet experimental chaos in the backgrounds is put into the form by the ethereal vibes and poignant lyrics. There are so many track here, like EXIT SIGN or GLEAM IN THE GREY, that are simply overflowed with dense airy atmosphere. The levels of echoes and backing vocals in some places put this, after all, modern and eclectic electronic pop album, within the dominium of airy dream pop at the same time.
