Blinding Lights (feat. Amelia Magdalena)

Electronic duo Pale Blue return to Crosstown Rebels with ‘No Words’, the second single from their forthcoming album  ‘Maria’, with remixes from DJ Tennis and Perel.  

Italians Do It Better founder Mike Simonetti and Silver Hands’ Elizabeth Wight’s rich and storied careers within the electronic realm  and beyond only elevated further with the launch of their Pale Blue project in 2015, unveiling a series of critically acclaimed releases  via Simonetti’s 2MR imprint with plaudits including Pitchfork, FACT and Resident Advisor, to name just a few. Having provided the first  look into their forthcoming album on Crosstown Rebels entitled ‘Maria’, scheduled for release on the label later this year, the pair  return to open March with the second single from the project, ‘No Words’ - accompanied by remixes from DJ Tennis and Perel.

“‘Maria’ is an album of love songs, and ‘No Words’ is the apex, so to speak. It is the Pale Blue version of a jacking house  track. The lyrics are intentionally sing-songs/nursery rhyme style to give it an even more minimal and fleeting feeling. It may  be the most optimistic song in our catalog.” - Mike Simonetti. 

Detailing the backstory to the record, Simonetti notes both upcoming single ‘No Words’ and the majority of the tracks on the duo’s  forthcoming album project were made on the exact synths used to create Jaydee’s iconic 1993 hit, ‘Plastic Dreams’. “A long time ago,  maybe twelve years, I answered a Craigslist ad of a person selling some synthesizers, and when I got to the house to buy them, it was  Jaydee of ‘Plastic Dreams’ fame. I ended up buying the two synths he recorded ‘Plastic Dreams’ on, and his custom presets were still  set up”. He adds, “I use his synths all the time and used them on almost every song on ‘Maria’. On ‘No Words’ especially, I used the  ‘Plastic Dreams’ sound from his actual synth”.  

Guided by a captivating bassline accented by Wight’s charming vocals, which flutter amongst the mix, ‘No Words’ is a hooky and  compelling production that ebbs and flows across its near five-minute duration with effortless ease, capturing the playful nature  alluded to by Simonetti. Life and Death head honcho DJ Tennis’ remix arrives next, veering down a hazy yet absorbing path as crisp  organic drums and engrossing melodies form around the vocals and journey through light and dark textures.

The B-side of the record belongs to DJ/producer, vocalist and DFA Records favourite Perel, offering a cosmic dive through spacey  synths, skittering bleeps and pops, and tough kicks across her take on the production - before distorting and warping the vocals and  shifting the emphasis on the ever-evolving electronics across her ‘Dub Version’.

Blue Dot Excerpt #04 - Tontario,  Luke Howard, Adam Nickey, Olafur Arnalds

Volume 1

Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) [feat. Amelia Magdalena]

A song about recognizing we are attracted to the familiar even if it's unhealthy, learning to be self aware, self compassionate, and maybe one day being able to love one's self instead of seeking out negative relationships that repeat the pain of our childhood.  There's also an homage to the "House of the Rising Sun" and a plea to listen to children

Neurotique (2003)

A song about the tail end of a relationship where unrequited love turns into a rotting and festering piece of your body you want to cut out with a sharp knife.  I pictured a religious sacrificial ceremony on a hill in part due to reading a fabulous satire on religion called "Not Wanted on the Voyage" by Canadian author Timothy Findley.

Meet Me At the Alter (2008)

My pop song about having what should have been a one night stand with the celebrity Moby who picked me up in Miami when I was hired to film him.  It would have just been a good story but he wanted to keep in touch with me, make me fall in love with him despite having zero actual interest in me other than another body to use, and generally treated me like shit.  But as I learned, many celebrities are just very lonely narcissists who want more fans.  This is my friend Patrick Donovan's remix of my original song.

Le Mystère Québec

The Aishterus - Le Mystère Québec

A cover of Journey's song "Faithfully" which was almost in a horror movie.  I don't know how to reach Journey but love this version.  I was lucky to get it produced professionally and this is the only song I've ever had a professional producer on.

The Boys of Summer

The Boys of Summer (Live at EartH, London, 2019)

Here are some songs I've written and recorded.  I played keyboards and sang in the bands "Light FM" and "Love Grenades" in Los Angeles as well.  One day I'll have my own performing band, but I'm also busy working in the art department on movies, painting, I made a documentary called "Democracy 4 Dummies", and I love hanging out with friends and drinking beer.  Like many, I mostly record when I'm sad and lonely and luckily have been happier as of late.  Hope you enjoy my music!
