A dreamy rock spell takes maintain on “Misty Blue,” a observe from MothBreath that excels in each its lush atmospheric prowess and emotive vocal entrancement. Additionally that includes glimpses of nostalgic trip-hop in its rhythmic backing, the observe enthralls with its melodic development and general really feel. The observe continues a development of standout songwriting from the band, who caught our ears already this yr with tracks like “Model New” and “Freedom Machine.”
“Misty Blue was impressed by floating within the ocean one time, feeling actually down and realising, although fully immersed, I used to be being completely supported and soothed by it,” says vocalist/keyboardist/drummer Kirsty Dougall. “Hopefully we’ve captured that feeling of intense disappointment combined with hope. The darkish and the sunshine.”
Lush, twanging guitars and durable percussion complement a hypnotic vocal presence to begin. The soulful vocal emotion, guitar work, and regular rhythms produce an aesthetic reminding fondly of acts like Portishead and Huge Assault. Dougall’s vocals intensify with suave momentum, drifting right into a cathartic “really feel so significantly better now” outpouring — bolstered by textured distortion and starry-eyed digital results. The ocean imagery inside — “let it wash away…” — performs alongside glistening guitars in producing a strongly impactful soundscape, discovering an exquisite steadiness between dreamy intrigue and upfront emotion. “Misty Blue” is one other standout success from MothBreath.
