Our Take
In their debut album "MISERY LOVES COMPANY," Athens Meets Ny delivers a quirky blend of sonic influences that will have you tapping your feet and scratching your head in equal measure. The Athens-based duo, comprised of Nikos and Maria, have combined elements of Greek folk music with the gritty energy of Brooklyn hip-hop to create a sound that is truly unique. From the opening track "Opa! (Shots Fired)," which features a catchy bouzouki riff layered over a thumping bassline, to the hauntingly beautiful "Feta Funk," Athens Meets Ny showcase a versatility that is as impressive as it is baffling. The album's standout track, "Gyro Time," is a frenetic fusion of traditional Greek melodies and blistering rap verses that will leave you wondering whether to dance or start a mosh pit. While the eclectic nature of "MISERY LOVES COMPANY" is undeniably charming, it can also be a bit overwhelming at times. The constant genre-hopping and frenetic energy can leave you feeling a bit disoriented, like you've just stumbled into a Greek wedding after-party hosted by the Beastie Boys. Despite its occasional chaotic moments, "MISERY LOVES COMPANY" is a refreshingly original debut from Athens Meets Ny. Whether you're a fan of Greek folk music, hip-hop, or just good old-fashioned confusion, this album is sure to leave you entertained and slightly bewildered. Cheers to Nikos and Maria for boldly blending cultures and sounds in a way that only they can. Opa!
