“Do you ever wonder why the stars are falling down from the sky?”, sweetly asks Swedish artist MIYNT in the opening line to new single ‘Letter from the Moon’. The astral electronics seem to be signalling from far away, her voice too is hazy, distant and drained of energy, which perfectly suits the song’s persona who is tired of living on her metaphorical moon. MIYNT’s alternative-pop speaks of romance and solitude, with a downbeat groove that each listener can perform their own lonely slow dance to. From the digitised pop of early works like ‘Civil War’ to experimentation with indie-rock in tracks like ‘Cool’ from EP No.1, ‘Letter From The Moon’ combines these different elements in a flawlessly subtle and convincing manner. At the end of the week, whether it’s been a long or short one, take a moment to peruse MIYNT’s hand-written love note. - HT
