With little more than a bass, drum machine, and deadpan vocals, Sneaks, a.k.a. Eva Moolchan, makes minimalist music that takes up space-something she herself has made a point of doing in the male-heavy Washington, D.C., DIY punk scene that has been her home. Moolchan calls Sneaks "a character" that she's playing, and there's certainly an element of mystery around the persona and her riddles. But it's also all her, born out of full solo creative control after stints in a number of D.C. bands. It's a Myth builds on Sneaks' playfully stark approach to post-punk, which, as her hometown City Paper described it, causes listeners to go "from curious to provoked to hungry." Hungry, in part, because the new album clocks in at just 18 minutes of 10 taut, captivating tracks. It also adds Jonah Takagi and Ex Hex/Helium frontwoman Mary Timony, who recorded the album at Timony's D.C. studio. "She's got art in her brain," Timony has said of Moolchan. "Her brain is making beautiful stuff."
