rising

mxmtoon

A bright, disco-inflected evolution from bedroom pop. Glossy synths and driving rhythms meet the intimate, diary-like songwriting of a quarter-life crisis.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the introverted verses of 'sad disco' into the shimmering, four-on-the-floor chorus
The lush, stacked vocal harmonies that swell during the bridge of 'mona lisa'
The way the acoustic strumming finally gives way to a triumphant, full-band finish on 'coming of age'
