"Misty Blue" is a delight of shadow and shimmer, a track that takes your hand and walks you through the darkest corridors of feeling toward the still, soft glow at the end of it all. MothBreath, consisting of Kirsty Dougall and John Libert, carves out a notch in the darkwave and dreampop landscape.
"Misty Blue" envelops you in a lush atmosphere that feels heavy, like the ocean kisses itself and calls on you to dive. John's hypnotic tones entwine with Kirsty's lilting, ethereal vocals and the cinematic drums and keyboards, combining depth and fragility, a sensation as delicate as breaking glass.
This release is about the sadness that infuses the sensation of heaviness in your stomach, a companion that remains. Essentially, the ground of our immersion in life, "Misty Blue," is like water that encompasses us, cares for us, and keeps someone beneath us from drowning us. These coils of hope and grief are what draw us back to the music of MothBreath.
It's a candidly late-night single, something to drive alone with while the world makes practices, or at the dawn of a long night. But "Misty Blue" is even more profound than just another darkwave track, and it's a cradle and a promise.
