Indie Pop Artist Mykal Hoare Reveals Debut Video

It's been a bit since we last heard from Mykal Hoare. He released his first full EP a while back and has since gone back into the shadows to work on more musical goodness for us all. Today, he brought us his first ever music video for the track "Black Out". Let's take a look.



First of all, why didn't we get a video for "Heart Attack"? While "Black Out" is one of my favorite from the entire EP, but it wasn't the most polished of the lot. The song is very fun and upbeat, making it a great choice for a single, so why not make it a video?

The video is very artsy, showcasing Mykal in various different colored lenses singing to his song. Other scenes involve him fully clothed in a bathtub, submerging himself fully underwater. Towards the end of the video, he takes some pills, and ends up crawling around his bathroom floor. This  video was shot on a budget, but for an indie artist, it looks very well done. Being his first attempt, things can only look up for him in the future.

The EP is up on iTunes for purchase. Check out "Black Out" along with the rest of his tracks so far.

Album Review - No Light! No Light!

It's been a while since we've heard from Mykal Hoare. He released his single "Heart Attack" last year and has since gone underground. Recently, he's resurfaced with a new EP entitled "No Light! No Light!" to show the world exactly what he's got, and lucky for you, he made sure this came to my attention so that I can get on it right on the front lines.

Song of the Week - Heart Attack

Who says I don't listen when people try and tell me that they are making quality music. Recently, I was contacted by yet another Australian independent artist who wanted me to take a look at their music. This time around his name is Mykal Hoare, and he definitely has a great debut single. Check it!

Most of the time, I will put my favors in the corner of the indie artist trying to make a name for themselves. This go around, Mykal is spreading his music from his native Australia to the United States, giving us a great pop song that feels a bit off kilter -- in a good way. The song is a chorus of moans, vocal effects, and crazy pulsing beats, so obviously it's right up my alley.

Heart Attack has a bit of an unconventional message, begging for that special someone the song is all about to prevent him from having a heart attack. The lyrics are a bit hard to make out sometimes, both due to the insanely addicting beat, as well as the computerized vocals. This is not necisarily a bad thing, as it works very well for the song, but it took a couple of listens to "get to" the lyrics, so to speak. Regardless, I love the song, and it's so odd to think that had he not come to me on Twitter, I would have never heard this track.

Support the artist by buying the song on iTunes! Damn I'm starting to love me song Australian pop.
