Myriad’s Living on the Internet EP offers a vibrant, and unfiltered glimpse into the highs and lows of life in 2025. Across the four tracks, the indie quartet channels influences from The Strokes, Vampire Weekend, and The 1975, while carving out a voice that is unmistakably their own.
The EP opens with its titular track, “Living on the Internet,” a sharp critique of AI’s intrusion and the isolating effects of living “chronically online.” Pulsing guitar riffs and an infectious rhythm make this introspection feel alive and electric rather than heavy. The band’s knack for pairing modern existential themes with upbeat energy is a hallmark of the project and allows the band to deliver moments that are as thought-provoking as they are fun.
On “Oxytocin,” Myriad shifts gears to explore the intoxicating rush of romance. The interplay of sweet melodies and shimmering guitars evokes the fleeting euphoria of love’s first bloom. In contrast, “Sick of the Sound” dives into late-night anxiety by balancing its lyrical vulnerability with a driving beat that keeps the track dynamic and engaging.
The EP’s closer, “Wasted Time,” is the emotional fulcrum of the record as it paints a vivid portrait of heartbreak and loss. Blending aching vocals with an anthemic instrumental backdrop, it’s a track where the band’s raw honesty shines through.
Tackling weighty themes with an infectious sense of vitality, Myriad has crafted a project that feels timely, personal, and endlessly replayable. Living on the Internet is a snapshot of life’s chaos delivered with indie rock finesse.
