Pale Blue, the duo of Elizabeth Wight and Mike Simonetti, released their debut album to much critical acclaim back in 2015. They come together once again with their latest EP  You Stopped Dying due to drop on Crosstown Rebels in February.

“The “You Stopped Dying” ep takes influence from shoegaze groups like Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine and moves it to the dance floor....The result is a strange hybrid that some have called “technogaze”....This would never work if Liz wasn’t such a strong vocalist. Her amazing vocal range makes it easy.”  Mike Simonetti

Pale Blue  is a hypnotic affair, the driving bass sitting perfectly under  Wight’s  powerful yet ethereal vocals. Daughter of Babylon takes the record into heavier techno territory with its thudding bass and Wight’s breathy vocals delicately layered over the top. On the flip side  Love is an unapologetically industrial number with screeching synths that echo around Wight’s vocals.

Simonetti and Wight have each earned their musical stripes in their own rights. Simonetti founded the hugely popular Italians Do It Better as well as his own successful record label, 2MR. He’s released a slew of records on highly regarded imprints such as Me Me Me, Correspondant and Public Release, and enjoys a fruitful career as a touring DJ, which shows no sign of abating. Wight has previously lent her exhilarating vocals to the West Coast band, Silver Hands of which she was once one half of.

Pale Blue - You Stopped Dying

New Jersey veteran Mike Simonetti has had his hands in a lot of projects over the years, but 'Solipsism' finds the 2MR co-founder and Pale Blue member looking back at music he made between 2006 and 2013 when he was running the Italians Do It Better label. Full of woozy melodies and synthy chuggers, the album is due to arrive on September 28, but ahead of that we debuted the LP's energetic title track on Red Bull Radio's First Floor, our weekly look at what's new in electronic music.
