Mushy new album “Breathless” out on November 19th – Chain D.L.K.
On ‘Breathless’ Italian artist Mushy takes the blueprint laid down on her debut ‘Faded Heart’ and blows it up to an analogue hd, a deep, evocative and immersive listening experience that cocoons the listener in sensory loss and ecstasy simultaneously.
While more understated than the likes of Liz Fraser or Zola Jesus, Mushy’s vocals are ghostly, expressionistic and suggestive of a netherland just beyond the realms of dream. On tracks like opener ‘To Be Lost’ there’s a mournful, glacial shift of swooping synths and bass emphasising the lyrics’ drift. The singular atmosphere pervades the whole record, never letting go, and on tracks like ‘Night Dress’ it descends into a darker, lurking place rich in imagery.
Elsewhere the precise snap of vintage electronics pushes and pull the listener into a hypnotised state that far surpasses Mushy’s previous work.
LP limited edition 500 copies. First 100 copies of the LP comes in a solid red vinyl.
