Scottish alternative outfit Mixed Signals unveil their new single, “Different Frequencies,” a track that captures the emotional tug-of-war that defines many modern relationships. Formed in Ayr, the band is known for its emotionally charged songwriting and expansive, guitar-driven arrangements.
“Different Frequencies” sees the band stepping into bolder territory, evolving from its original stripped-back concept into a soaring, full-bodied rock release. Featuring cinematic guitar textures, propulsive rhythm work, and lead singer Ben Gardiner’s expressive vocal delivery, the track delivers a sound that feels both anthemic and deeply personal.
Thematically, “Different Frequencies” centres on the complicated space between love and uncertainty, exploring the idea of remaining in a relationship simply because the alternative feels more frightening. The band has often gravitated towards themes of emotional vulnerability, and here they lean fully into that honesty, capturing the uneasy balance between connection and self-preservation.
