Unleashed last Friday and self-released on his own imprint, Mitekiss gently stokes the embers with this beautifully crafted winter warmer ‘Fire + Fume’.
Joining forces with Swedish vocalist, Sofia Gunnarsson, the pair explore the elements together – cosying up beneath an umbrella of a somewhat experimental, yet sophisticated sound. Think Oh Wonder-slash-The Paper Kites vibes.
‘Fire + Fume’ literally warms the cockles and keeps the marshmallows nice and toasty. Dishing up a satisfying menu of Mitekiss’s signature drums, a smooth and calming blend of hypnotic pianos, atmospheric strings and deeply calming vocals. Floating down a long and winding tunnel of loveliness, ‘Fire + Fume’ gives wintery chills down your spine, whilst lovingly embracing you with a warm and snuggly blanket.
Lyrically, ‘Fire + Fume’ unveils a mysterious and poetic subjective matter, that cleverly envelops the deeper meaning, yet translated so perfectly. Just close your eyes and whisk yourself away to the uncertainty of a deep, dark forest with crispy snow underfoot, sparkling frosty trees and huge campfire to sit around.
Out right now on all platforms, including Bandcamp, ‘Fire + Fume’ is quite literally this Christmas’ earmuffs for the soul.
