BRINGING #EMO TO THE CLUB: SLIGHTLY MYSTERIOUS, SOMEWHAT DELIRIOUS by DACIAN MIRON | POP ALTERNATIVE
For Fans Of: My Chemical Romance, AFI, All Time Low, Panic! at the Disco, First and Forever, Waterparks
Review: Fans of 2000's era emo can breathe a sigh of relief as Dacian Miron gives the genre a modern update with his new EP Slightly Mysterious, Somewhat Delirious. The former singer/songwriter of post-hardcore act The August Name has set off on a solo career that allows him to explore some of his pop influences such as Journey, Queen, and Michael Jackson.
A Florida native since the year 2000, Dacian's blend of pop-alternative brings emo to the club scene. "Bad decisions are my true religion" as Dacian sings in "The Cure for Sobriety is a Bottle of Jack," a track that would fit in any playlist right alongside some of Fall Out Boy's biggest hits, while "Nightcrawler's Revenge" has a modern dark-wave feel that fans of newer AFI might enjoy.
Each of the album's five tracks could stand out as a single in it's own right, but songs like "Young Punk, Mr. Rock N Roll" and "Feeling Dangerous" could easily chart on any mainstream modern rock radio station if they weren't all turning in to mindless automated Top 40 by now. Not that Dacian's music doesn't belong on Top 40 either, it totally does! But to call an artist "Top 40" in the underground scene tends to come as a back-handed compliment. We would love to hear more music like this on mainstream airwaves.
Dacian is already an accomplished musician, but if this is just his debut as a solo artist then we think he's going to need a steady collection of sunglasses for the bright future that he has ahead of him. "Just stand by for a damn good time" because Slightly Mysterious, Somewhat Delirious will leave you "feeling just fine / on cloud nine."
Rating: 4/5 - A solid debut EP with stellar production value. A promising glimpse of things to come from up-and-coming artist Dacian Miron.
