MYTHS is out now, listen to it here and purchase it here.

MYTHS, the new cryptic ambient manifestation by Danz CM, is out now via Channel 9 Records. It’s a sweeping, cinematic universe of waves that feels both timeless and otherworldly. Listen to MYTHS here.

MYTHS is a true feat of craftsmanship — recorded using the expressive power of synth instruments like the legendary CS-80 and original Mellotron, Danz creates a lush and ethereal world, channeling the spirit of classic electronic composers like Vangelis. Recorded live and engineered by Lance Hill of the Vintage Synthesizer Museum in Los Angeles, mixed by Michael Stein (Stranger Things) and mastered by Heba Kadry (Björk, Ryuichi Sakamoto).

The titles of each track are inspired by mythological creatures: The Koromodako of the sea (Japan), the Dökkálfar who have eyes like the moon and dwell underground (Norse), and the tutelary deity of the forest, Leshy (Slavic).

The self-produced musician, songwriter, and composer formerly known as Computer Magic who also spearheads the beloved Synth History zine also announces a listening party celebrating the album at Gold Line in Los Angeles on February 20 (with friends BATHS, Izzy [Automatic], and Alix Brown), and a two-night live sound bath performance at Vintage Synthesizer Museum on February 26 and 27. Danz CM will also be joining Ladytron on a string of West Coast tour dates this May, more details below.

Earlier this month Danz CM shared a glimpse into a new TBA album coming later this year with “Over The Ocean.” KCRW called it “cinematic, statement-making, and demanding of your full attention.” NOTION said it’s “remarkably uplifting, making you feel like you can tackle 2026 head-on.” Watch the video for “Over The Ocean” here.

Late last year, Danz CM released LÄRM!, which Hearing Things called “instrumental electronic music with vivid scene-setting and a patient sense of narrative, delivered with warm vintage hardware tones.” It pays homage to 1970s Krautrock bands like Cluster, Can, Neü, and Harmonia, seamlessly fusing synth improvisations, hypnotic rhythms, and dream-like vocals. While clearly indebted to those forebears, Danz also taps into their form-breaking spirit, finding fresh folds and imbuing these otherworldly compositions with her singular touch. Listen to LÄRM! here.
