‘Ons S'n Is Beter’ (Ours is better) is the title of MYMYMY’s debut EP launching on Tuesday, 27 September.
The thing about electronic music is that it
can be made to feel quite impersonal, but that’s certainly not the case with
electronic power duo MYMYMY.
Perhaps it’s their combination of clever lyrics
and organic sounding vocals. It goes beyond selecting good samples, layering,
mixing and all that when an electronic act is able to stir something in you.
Something memorable.
Conrad van Breda and Jana Oosthuizen have
been making music together in various states of consciousness for 6 years in
and around Cape Town. Even after long periods of absence and drama worthy of
several TV soaps, they seem to drift together after every break-up, post early
20’s hangover and periods of chronic domesticity to create that which binds
them - music.
To celebrate the release of ‘ONS S'N IS
BETER’, MYMYMY put together a teaser. Watch it here:

MYMYMY also released a teaser soundbite of
their most brow-raising track to date off their debut EP, titled ‘Die Naweek’.

MYMYMY is a electronic music concept that
is sure to change preconceived ideas of the genre in both the English and
Afrikaans market in South Africa. As this synth pop duo puts it, “Someone
fiddles with knobs and keys. Someone's lips parts seductively. Amazing sounds follow.”
Keep an eye on these kids.
