CD Digipak, Vinyl Single Sleeve + download card. “The spirit of ‘Trembling Hands’ comes
straight out of Nine Inch Nails’ most anthemic work.” – NPR // Under the moniker Mylets,
Henry Kohen takes on the roles of several musicians at once. The wunderkind guitarist
who, at 17, became the youngest artist signed to Sargent House has since established his
reputation as an awe-inspiring and agile performer, playing across North America and
Europe multiple times over the past couple of years. Mylets debut full length Arizona is the
defining work of a masterful tunesmith. Despite their complexity, the songs are never
disrupted by the intricacies running beneath their hyper-infectious pop structures. Kohen
operates his equipment like the conductor of a small orchestra, summoning fully realized
melodies from his devices. “I put in a lot of effort to make every single word and note of
each song as deliberate and concise as I could,” Kohen explains, “rather than throw out an
unintelligible overflow of information.” Album opener “Trembling Hands” is a massive,
hook-heavy anthem driven by layers of churning guitars and distortion that stirs
somewhere between the throaty verses of Broken-era Nine Inch Nails to the hymnal
anxiety of a Cloud Nothings record. The title track follows with a cascade of syncopated
guitar arpeggios setting the stage for a reverse-reverb soaked vocal harmony that chimes
like something off of U2’s Unforgettable Fire. And, that’s the beauty here: Mylets appeals to
every listener, not just other musicians. Kohen understates his unparalleled and highly
specific skills and instead forces the emotion informing his music to the forefront. This ability is what makes the songs on Arizona
command repeat listens. First single “Trembling Hands” premiered on NPR “All Songs Considered”, posted by numerous notable
outlets since. Early support/features confirmed with NPR, NME, Noisey, FADER, Consequence of Sound, Prog, Alarm, Rock Sound
and more.
