MIYNT returns with the powerful and fuzzy rocker "After The Gold Rush"

We once called Swedish singer MIYNT "dangerously refreshing" when she first appeared in 2015 with her debut single "Civil War"; a year on and with her debut EP set to drop later in the year we're not changing that opinion.

Her new track "After The Gold Rush" (yes, named for that album) is the second track taken from Ep no.1 following the tender "The Strangest Game" and finds MIYNT guiding her innate sensuality down another avenue altogether.

Right from the off this track is another kind of powerful, with fuzz bass dominating alongside primitive drums, laying a rock solid bed for MIYNT's gorgeously serene voice to glide over and add an airy psychedelia to proceedings.

Of the track, MIYNT says "'After The Gold Rush' is a song dedicated to the Neil Young album with the same title. I worked as an assistant to the artist Jacob Dahlgren a summer three years ago and he introduced me to that record. I listened to it for that whole summer in the studio drinking coffee and painting squares for a sculpture (yes it was a great job). The song is playing with some of the titles of that record but it is also about time. How things have a timeline and about doing the best of things and not to overthink it."

"After The Gold Rush" is out now, and Ep no.1 follows in September via B3SCI Records
