London rock quartet, Velvetine return with another haunting single titled ‘Miss Together’, exploring elements of fear, anger and teetering on the edge of losing control.
‘Miss Together’ delivers an eerie blend of gothic art-rock and shoegaze chimes that make it hard to decipher whether you’re charmed by their bewitching appeal or scared by their taunting melody. Lyrics crash against induced silent strikes and underlying moody bass tones before erupting into chaotic roars where everything happens all at once. “She went after control” and “bounced off to hell” unravels the track’s unrealistic compromise for desiring freedom yet craving authority – one which vocalist Mia Scarlet alludes to wishing went hand in hand.
At the centre of the track, there’s a nostalgic theme of constant frustration and feeling isolated within the world they live in. Much like a cry for help, ‘Miss Together’ peels back the layers of toxicity that are found in having unhealthy obsessions and highlights the risk of being stuck in a rut.
