Out now via Crosstown Rebels.
Mike Simonetti & Elizabeth Wight are back as Pale Blue to share the release of their much-anticipated sophomore studio album, ‘Maria’. The new LP is already available to stream and purchase across all major outlets via Damian Lazarus’ Crosstown Rebels imprint.
Having already offered a first look and preview into their long-awaited album return via three singles on the label, with remixes provided by DJ Tennis, Kölsch, Fort Romeau, and Perel, Pale Blue now unveil ‘Maria’ in its entirety, showcasing a spellbinding journey across 8 captivating tracks.
“‘Maria’ is an album of love songs – the good, the bad, and the ugly… The album is written entirely in Elizabeth’s voice. These are all her words – her thoughts, based on her personal experience. When writing this record, I took inspiration from classic rock LP sequencing, and tried to dial in on a coherent concept, a natural flow. Although these are clearly techno tracks, one would argue they have more in common with rock music than dance music. I wanted to try to make something a little different, verse/chorus/verse tracks but still heavy enough for the club, full of melody and emotion… poppy but not THAT kind of poppy. Pale Blue has been known to take on political subject matter in the past, but the politics of love is something we can all relate to.” explains Mike Simonetti.
