Wide Open and Worn In: Mylo Bybee Find Clarity on Revisions

Mylo Bybee’s Revisions doesn’t rush to explain itself—it opens its arms and lets you step in. Due February 20 via Gold Ship Records, the EP finds the Boise-based band writing from a place of reflection rather than reaction, letting melodies stretch and emotions linger. There’s a familiar comfort in the way these songs unfold—echoes of Death Cab for Cutie and Manchester Orchestra float through the edges—but what stands out is how grounded it all feels. Nothing is oversized for the sake of drama; every swell, every pause, feels earned.

At the center of the release is “I Wish You Well,” a wide-open, quietly powerful track that carries both weight and grace. The song traces the afterglow of experiences that change you—where gratitude and loss sit side by side—and it does so without bitterness. Inspired by years spent living off the grid on Alaska’s St. Lawrence Island, the track breathes with isolation and clarity, capturing that strange stillness where silence teaches you something about yourself. It’s vulnerable without being fragile, expansive without losing its intimacy, like flipping through an old photo album you didn’t know you were ready to open.

That emotional honesty runs throughout Revisions, marking a clear step forward for Mylo Bybee as storytellers. Since forming in 2020, the band has quietly become one of the Pacific Northwest’s most compelling alt-rock voices, pairing heart-forward songwriting with dynamic live shows that linger long after the lights come up. With an EP release show set for February 28 in Boise and a return to Treefort Music Fest this spring, Revisions feels less like a reinvention and more like a deep breath—proof that growth doesn’t always mean getting louder, just more truthful.
