MYOON Turn Brotherly Chemistry Into Cinematic Pop On Run With The Stars

MYOON’s Run With The Stars works because it feels built from a real creative relationship rather than a loose collection of songs. The Paris duo, made up of brothers Augustin and Charles Hurez, uses the EP to connect cinematic indie pop, analog synth detail, guitar texture, and direct songwriting into a release that feels personal without getting too heavy-handed.

The project has a clear foundation from which everything else can expand upon.

Three tracks are vocal-led, three are instrumental, and that split gives the EP room to move between song structure and atmosphere without feeling unfocused. Augustin handles the production and composition side, while Charles brings the voice and the emotional throughline, and that division of roles gives the music a natural sense of balance.

Their reference points make sense on paper as much as it does in practice: M83, Phoenix, New Order, Coldplay, U2, Radiohead, Massive Attack, and the wider French Touch tradition. The most interesting part is that Run With The Stars does not sound like it is trying to quote those names for the sake of doing so, and instead, MYOON seems more interested in using that palette to build something polished, romantic, and easy to place in late-night listening or golden-hour playlist territory.

The Songs Feel Built From Shared Instinct

The strongest thing about MYOON is the brother dynamic. A lot of duos talk about chemistry, though here it feels baked into the EP’s arrangement. Augustin’s production gives the tracks their shape, with warm synths, airy guitar lines, and rhythmic movement, while Charles keeps the writing tied to feeling, romance, movement, and escape.

“Boom Boom” gives the EP its clearest pop entry point.

It has enough lift to work quickly, though the production keeps enough space around the vocal to avoid sounding over-polished. “Dreamer” opens the project’s wider emotional frame, while the instrumental material gives the duo room to lean further into texture and motion.

That balance matters because cinematic pop can easily become too glossy. MYOON avoids that by keeping the writing clear and giving each track a production role. The vocal tracks pull the listener closer, while the instrumental cuts broaden the EP’s scope and let the synth work carry the mood.

Paris Electro-Pop With A Clear Sense Of Motion

Producer Julien Galner, whose credits include Château Marmont, Jabberwocky, Kiddy Smile, and Julien Granel, also plays an important role in the EP’s sound. His presence helps sharpen the production without sanding down the duo’s personality, and Run With The Stars feels like a step toward a clearer version of what MYOON already do well.

The EP is at its best when the production and writing move together. The analog synths give the tracks a warm frame, the guitars add a human edge, and the rhythms keep the songs from drifting too far into mood alone. It is music built for motion, though it still has enough intimacy to feel connected to the two people behind it.

For a duo formed in 2019, Run With The Stars feels like a useful marker.

It shows MYOON refining their identity, leaning into the natural split between Augustin’s production instincts and Charles’ vocal presence, and building a sound that can sit between indie pop, electronic pop, and cinematic songwriting without forcing the connection.
