MXMS has released their self-produced EP, Funeral Pop I, which features the brand new single “Salvation Hurts.” Previous singles from MXMS focused on the minimalism of a raw piano and voice; drawing from Jeremy's classical piano background complimenting Ariel's heart piercing tenor vocals. The new recordings reflect their sonic progression to an expansive pallet of dark instrumentation, pulsing analog synthesizers and a crushing rhythm section layered around Ariel’s haunting delivery. Focusing on movements of emotional trauma and taboo metaphoric expression, the brutal honesty of MXMS leaves an open invitation for listeners' own stories rise to the surface.
“'Salvation Hurts' is written about how extraordinarily painful the process is to be free from ___________.” — Jeremy & Ariel
