Tyler Schlagenhauf of Mylo Bybee discusses the Revisions EP, fatherhood-inspired songwriting, Boise indie rock growth, and the band’s upcoming Treefort appearance.
Boise’s indie rock scene continues to mature; and Mylo Bybee’s Revisions EP is proof that growth doesn’t just happen musically, it happens personally. With national coverage from outlets like Spin and New Noise Magazine and a new partnership with Gold Ship Records, Mylo Bybee is entering what frontman Tyler Schlagenhauf calls the band’s “third act.”
At the same time, the story behind Revisions isn’t just about band evolution; it’s about fatherhood, off-grid life in rural Alaska, lineup transitions, and redefining what it means to move forward without erasing the past.
So what does “Revisions” really mean for a Boise indie rock band navigating growth, family, and industry partnerships?
On this episode of The Gordie Tamayo Show, I sit down with Tyler Schlagenhauf, lead singer and rhythm guitarist of Mylo Bybee, to unpack the story behind the EP, their limited-edition vinyl release, and how the Boise music scene helped shape their trajectory.
In this conversation, we explore:
- The meaning behind the Revisions EP and its emotional arc
- How fatherhood reshaped Tyler’s songwriting approach
- The band’s evolution from pandemic-born trio to a refined four-piece
- Their artist-first partnership with Gold Ship Records
- The story behind their 100-copy limited edition splatter vinyl release
- Preparing for Treefort Music Fest and hitting the festival circuit

What Makes Revisions Different?
Unlike many indie releases that focus purely on sound, Revisions is built around transformation.
The EP opens with “I Wish You Well,” inspired by Tyler’s time teaching off-grid in rural Alaska, surrounded by the Bering Sea, polar bears, and complete isolation. That experience profoundly shaped him; and the song reflects on how formative chapters influence who we become.
At the center of the project sits “Time Machine,” a chaotic, ambient-driven track that sonically mimics what traveling through time might feel like—disorienting, emotional, and transformative.
And perhaps most powerful is the track written for his son. Becoming a father changed Tyler’s creative lens. Music is no longer just his thing; it’s something he shares, models, and builds as legacy.
The recurring message?
Change doesn’t erase you; it refines you.
Boise Indie Rock Band with National Momentum
Mylo Bybee is more than a local act.
The band has:
- Partnered with Boise staples like The Tonic Room, DEN Studios, and Secret Weapon Mastering
- Worked with Daymoon Films for cinematic music videos

Gold Ship Records stands out for rejecting the traditional “label as bank” model and focusing instead on artist development and collaboration. From vinyl pressing to merch stores and social media support, the partnership has helped Mylo Bybee expand without sacrificing independence.
Limited Edition Vinyl Release
To celebrate the Revisions EP, Mylo Bybee is releasing:
- 100 exclusive splatter vinyl copies worldwide

For vinyl collectors and Boise music fans alike, this is a rare drop.

Following their album release party in Boise’s Hyde Park district, Mylo Bybee heads into:
- Treefort Music Fest (The Olympic venue)
- Humboldt Hideaway Festival (Nevada)
