My Epic is a trio from Charlotte, NC with a sound comparable to an
indie version of Falling Up. Their first major release, I Am Undone is
delivered courtesy of Facedown Records, and you can catch them
currently touring with label mates Take It Back. In short,
the album is pretty good and seems to have potential for the
future. However, let's take a closer look for some details.
I Am Undone starts off with a prologue, which would be an alright
addition if there was not an instrumental track added later on, two
fillers that bump this ten song album up to twelve. I just don't care
for fillers. Next up is "The Oil Press," which is arguably the best
song on the album. It's an artistic display of lyrics about Christ
choosing the cross for us, stating, "You went to the garden when You
knew Your fate." The album progresses with "Lest We Die," one of the
better tracks that is about humility, stating, "humble me until I am
fully
fine" and "there is a war within my fragile skin." As you can see, the
band has a good writing ability, while tracks like "You Know We All
Love You" display their talent musically. "You Became I," "Men In
Little Houses," and "The Love & The Thief" are also good listens and
showcase the band's skill very well.
Three of the last four tracks tend to fall pretty flat. They just
seem to detract from what could have been a very good album. At
times, you have to struggle to hear the vocals clearly which can deter
listeners after hearing the album only once or twice. My Epic does
experiment a little musically, but the sound doesn't always come off
crisp. As said before, all in all this is still a pretty good album for a
freshman release. I would expect to hear more from My Epic in the future as
long as they keep writing good lyrics and clean up the production a little.
