Mikie Mayo is someone we have touched on multiple times in the past. He has an eccentric blend of many genres all boiling together into a beautiful melting pot of sound. His self titled “fun core” has been infectious this year with fun videos and nostalgic but, new sounds constantly coming from his mind. This year, back in September, Mikie dropped a little project full of songs from this year. “Daddy Issues” contains “Dorrance St”, “Big Couch”, and of course , “Daddy Issues”. Each song having this nostalgic but, futuristic pop punk sound. Incorporating classic guitar riffs blended with punchy drums and wild synths. For example on “Dorrance St” we get this wild turntable almost sound raging in pitch bending as Mikie reminiscing on a younger version of himself being left in tha past. The first two songs have almost a Blink-182 inspiration and then “Big Couch” seems to have almost a never shout never inspiration if anyone remembers him. With the glittery ukulele and the eccentric vocal runs. This whole tape is filled to the brim with interesting sounds and inspirations that blend so well together and come out as something new. I’m sure a lot of listeners can find a lot to love about these songs and I hope more people discover how great and well made Mikie Mayo’s work really is. It’s quick and easy listening and a high quality product from an independent effort so, if you got the time, we highly recommended clicking the link below!
