Merging the moodier qualities of dreampop and post punk, Los Angeles band, Powder Pink & Sweet, reveal their new single Shadow Self, exhibiting the band's turn toward a more shadowy and atmospheric aspect of their sound.
The song achieves an amazing Lynchian atmosphere throughout and bases its charm on the haunting qualities of the vocal delivery, the excellently executed production, as well as the brooding lyricism, resulting in a dark and moody number which stands out in the band's catalog so far.
Evoking the more ethereal releases from 4AD’s celebrated era, Shadow Self is a thoughtfully put together piece which demonstrates a strong artistic vision and impeccable delivery. Its rich atmosphere and attention to detail make it an eminent offering from the band.
