The Myriad
With Arrows, With Poise



Artist Info: Discography
Album length: 12 tracks: 51 minutes, 56 seconds
Street Date: May 13, 2008

Early Thoughts...

In 2005, a little band called The Myriad released the excellent but largely overlooked You Can't Trust a Ladder. Two years later, The Myriad defied the odds and beat out thousands of bands to become MTV2's "next big thing" in the "Dew Circuit Breakout." With the release of its sophomore album, With Arrows, With Poise, the band is sure to please fans both old and new. From the opening, "Grandfather Clock," to the closing, "Stuck in a Glass Elevator," With Arrows, With Poise is a dynamic album that proves The Myriad is worthy of its newfound fame...

**Full Review Coming Soon**
A Second Opinion
Stars
After a stunning teaser EP, The Myriad have launched the full album of With Arrows, With Poise. Simply put, the band has taken itself to the next level- the more generic rock of their first offering, You Can't Trust a Ladder, has been all but replaced with an indie style, electronic elements, and an experimental mindset. Driving guitars, dreamy piano, and catchy hooks permeate this disc, and each song is an art piece in itself. However, while the musicianship is outstanding, the vocals and lyrics are left lacking. Edwardson's voice seems to have no ability to change up based on the type of song, and this downside forces a few of the tracks to sound very much alike. Furthermore, the lyrics of the songs often feel shallow and meaningless. Even with these slight letdowns, "With Arrows, With Poise" remains a work of musical art, and has taken The Myriad's career to a new high. Expect even greater things from this band in the future.
