mxmtoon has returned with a new single entitled “rain” which will be included on her upcoming third album, liminal space. The country-leaning folk song features some nice pedal steel guitar and a first verse that should make indieheads everywhere feel seen. “Window shopping houses up on Clinton Street / I’m dancing down the block with the autumn breeze,” mxm sings, before adding: “Bright Eyes in my ears, I forget my fears / It’s the first day of my life.” Now there’s a reference.
“‘rain’ was about navigating the feeling of not being ready to give up what you just discovered,” the artist shared. “When I moved to the East Coast [from California] my world expanded in ways I never expected to happen. Living in a different state was terrifying but it challenged me to grow and learn in so many ways that I never anticipated. I became a new person, and the idea of moving back to the West Coast felt like sacrificing a version of myself I’d grown to love. It’s easy for people to romanticize what they don’t have, and no matter where I am in the world I’ll always miss the idea of a different place.”
