Ermyte’s ‘Mémoires’ EP is a compelling fusion of 80s rock influences and modern French lyricism. Born out of a shared passion for music, the band’s sound combines vintage rock with contemporary flair, all while paying homage to the French rock style. After just a year of performing and recording, Ermyte has crafted an EP that speaks to their desire to bring something new to the industry while honoring the past. The six tracks on ‘Mémoires’ not only show off the band’s raw musical talent but also their knack for merging introspective themes with powerful soundscapes.
The EP kicks off with “Despotify”, a track that takes aim at modern technology’s influence, specifically addressing the ubiquity of streaming platforms. With its dynamic instrumentation, the song packs a punch, grabbing the listener’s attention right away. This intensity continues with “Poésie Saturée”, where the band slows things down slightly to delve into a more poetic yet equally passionate sound. The French lyrics add a layer of depth to the song, offering a unique perspective on life and creativity. “Néant” takes a darker, more melancholic turn, with brooding guitar lines and atmospheric production that brings a sense of introspection. The track feels emotionally heavy, and the lyrics explore themes of emptiness and disillusionment.
The EP wraps up with “Le Bar St Jean”, which introduces a more upbeat energy, providing a shift in tone and offering a reflection on life’s simpler moments. “Eurydice”, a haunting ballad inspired by Greek mythology, follows, drawing listeners into its tragic yet beautiful narrative. The final track, “En 92”, adds a nostalgic touch, reminiscent of the past and the memories that shape us. ‘Mémoires’ is a perfect snapshot of Ermyte’s evolution as a band, blending the old with the new while creating a sound entirely their own.
