"MXMS excels in their dark pop drama in this catchy and cool melodramatic song, this is a must have at a dark gothic night club, the chorus is definitely the highlight in here and the vocals are sweet, overall this can help you if you are passing through a difficult time, dark but uplifting at the same time"

INSIDE THE TRACK: [artist's commentary]

The band is now gearing up to release their EP, Funeral Pop I, on May 1st, 2019, which features the brand new single "Salvation Hurts."

"'Salvation Hurts' is written about how extraordinarily painful the process is to be free from ___________." — Jeremy & Ariel

The EP also includes previous singles "Paris," "After Night," and "Gravedigger," which garnered attention from Suicide Sheep, Earmilk, KCRW, and Spotify editorial playlists including Chill Vibes, Alternative Beats, Sludge, Just Chill, Fresh Finds, and Indie Darlings as well as the Topsify's Indie Mixtape playlist. "Paris" also hit #1 on Hype Machine the first week of release, and MXMS has received press from the likes of Consequence of Sound, NestHQ, Rolling Stone, Fader and many others.

MXMS is currently on tour with She Wants Revenge, with more tour dates TBA for summer 2019. The duo interprets their recordings live using sequences of projection, keyboards, guitars, and drums creating a safe space for Ariel to deliver her message for the hopeful and the hopeless alike.
