One local talent we’ve been keeping a close eye on for a while now is Melbourne singer song writer Robert Muinos, a name which may be familiar to local music fans as the backing vocalist and guitarist in the soul juggernaut that is Saskwatch and one of the rotating members of new musical collective Dorsal Fins.
In November 2014 Muinos released his debut solo EP You’re Not Alone and today he’s sharing a follow on of sorts, a heartbreakingly beautiful new EP titled You Are Alone.
Straying from the Americana influences of Muinos’ debut release, You Are Alone sees the talented singer songwriter take a more straightforward approach, which at times delves into worlds that are at times painfully autobiographical and brutally bare.
Recorded in a tiny underground studio underneath a mirror shop in Fortitude Valley with legendary producer Magoo, this five track release reflects a marked maturation for Muinos, substituting additional instrumentation and layered production with gut-punching emotional complexity.
Check out the record below and if you like what you’re hearing make sure you check out Muinos in action at Some Velvet Morning for the EP release on February 18 with support from fellow local kingpin, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Luke Brennan, for more info visit Muinos’ Facebook page.
