Listen to The Legend Of Miranda
An Atlanta duo comprised of Tyler-Simone Molton and John Renaud, as Lesibu Grand the pair bring a songwriting chemistry that’s rare and thriving on this debut EP.
“Hush Hush” starts the listen with a pop influenced rock tune where a throbbing bass and spacey melodies are weaved around the grooves, and “Runnin’ Round” follows with crashing percussion amid the ‘90s alt-rock rocker.
Further on, “Miranda” gets grittier around fuzzy guitars and a visceral crunch that brings us back to the early days of the Pixies, while “Only American In The Room” offers us some of the prettiest singing in the harmonic setting. “Mi Sueno” ends the EP atmospheric and dreamy on the adventurous, multifaceted exit.
Molton and Renaud both bring a wealth of influences to the table, which is quite obvious across the 5 tunes where all sound different. An extremely versatile and easily embraceable first effort, it will be exciting to see what these two can do with an LP that’s hopefully on the horizon.
Travels well with: Talking Heads- Little Creatures; The Motels- Little Robbers
