mxmtoon’s Latest Release featuring Kero Kero Bonito on TunesDeck
mxmtoon, the prominent figure in bedroom-pop genre, has announced the upcoming release of her third studio album, “liminal space,” set to debut in November. This album marks her return after a gap of over two years since the release of her 2022 album, “Rising.” The album includes the previously released track “i hate texas” and introduces a fresh lead single, “the situation,” a collaboration with Sarah Bonito from Kero Kero Bonito.
mxmtoon shared her thoughts on the track “the situation,” delving into the themes of aging, life, and girlhood:
The song reflects on the inevitability of aging and mortality. It touches on the societal pressure on women to peak early in life and decline afterward. Despite the heavy themes, there is a touch of sarcasm in the lyrics, mocking the societal norms. Working with Kero Kero Bonito on this track was a dream come true for mxmtoon, with Sarah Bonito’s vocals complementing the song perfectly.
Sarah Bonito added her perspective on the theme of death and the choices we make in life, drawing inspiration from a quote about enjoying the roller coaster of life.
Regarding her new album, mxmtoon emphasized the tumultuous journey she went through in the past two years and the sense of being in a limbo-like state. She described “liminal space” as a collection of songs that navigate through uncertainty and self-reflection, exploring the complexities of fulfilling roles in life and grappling with the concept of agency.
Listen to “the situation.”
“liminal space” is scheduled to be released on 11/1 through AWAL. Pre-orders are available here.
