This album is what you'd get if you took the delicate and deliberate vocals of Oh Land or Tove Lo, along with their lyrical beauty and honesty, and spliced it with a little of the gritty, bleary searching, longing, yearning, fearing introspective confusion and analysis of Florence and the Machine or Natalia Kills.
"In too deep, I have become, my darkest dream, which I'm running from," MO worries on the fever dream track "Fire Rides," a song which also apparently alludes to "The Yellow Wallpaper" in one of its early lines (!!). And that's just track 1. There are 20 songs and they are all perfection. The several different versions of earlier tracks added to the end of the album are welcome and interesting. No Mythologies to Follow is thoroughly its own animal despite the obviously ideal companion it makes to other albums in its genre.
