City Lights (Single) by Double or Muffin

Indie Rock | Post Punk

Album Description:
The artificial gloaming of the urban night reflects coldly off the clouds. Who hasn’t gazed up in vain, thinking back to a time and place in which the milk-spill of stars across the sky made the name of our home galaxy self-evident. City Lights, the new single by Seattle band Double or Muffin, explores this near universal experience in tones of melancholy and longing, giving way to an urgent need to escape to the countryside, if only in one’s mind. Ostinato bass pulses like a foghorn through the opaque mist, giving way to unrelenting guitars as flight becomes an imperative. Like each song from their upcoming full-length album Seeded, City Lights was composed and recorded, together yet separate, over the course of one day. Their traditional method of real-time writing, together through improvisation, was tweaked to be slightly less real-time yet preserve the togetherness and spontaneity that defines their sound. The result is an expansion of texture and arrangement vocabulary while staying true to a human core of lively, naive and at-times risky experimentation.
