My Violent Ego is the name of the musical affinity between Christy Brewster and Paolo Miceli (La Casa al Mare, Sea Dweller). She from Edinburgh, Scotland UK, him from Rome, Italy, distant neighbors thanks to the Internet, - it all began in 2001 when they met on the forerunner mp3.com, and began to exchange music recordings via digital platform and mail. Never vis-à-vis for years, they released two self-produced EPs, until the official debut on the French record label Ocean-Music in January 2003, - Carried-along-by-fate, - distributed in the U.S. by Tonevendor and Projekt rec, as well as in Italy by Venus dischi. Promotional tours in 2003 and 2004, several collaborations with the Giardini di Mirò (Paolo records for them a version of A new start for shoegazing kids, featured in Songs for Broken Hearts and Asses and a vinyl 10" for Love Boat rec, while Christy sings on several tracks in Dividing Opinions and Punk.. No Diet..!), featured in the mixtapes of Best Kept Secret rec and Hoboken rec, My Violent Ego take a break in 2005 during the recordings of Clicks & Hisses in France, only to find themselves again ‘distant neighbors’ in 2009, for what will be scheduled in Fall 201x as the new chapter of My Violent Ego, to be titled You might find your self, previewed by the internet release EP May You Find Yourself in 2013. In February 2011, three indie labels, Handwriting, Sometimes, White Birch, co-release the EPs collection record One day you'll laugh at the sad saga that was. **** My Violent Ego - One Day You'll Laugh At The Sad Saga That Was (Sometimes Records / Handwriting Records / White Birch Records) Such a long title, so many record companies, and a long album, too. You can dispense with the first two quite easily (ignore! ignore!) but you won't be able to do that with the music, no sirree. There’s nothing egotistical, nor anything violent, about this startling set of twenty-two songs that stretch ethereal beauty to its limits. It lasts for one whole hour and goes on for eternity. Apparently this is a comeback after eight years, although the music here is all second-hand, garnered from material recorded between 2000-2005, but what material. They have produced a million dollar suit (or suite) from a patchwork of previous outings, a mix of tunes that fill your home and your heart, if you let them. This is shoegazer rock with a vision, bliss-out with a smiling face, MBV guitar meanderings with a direction. -- Leicester Bangs
