Tonight we feel excited to host the exclusive track premiere on Last Day Deaf of Mimi Pretend‘s (the solo project of Mimi Nissan, formerly of Nightmare Blue) 3rd single ‘Awake with Me‘. A dark pop bijou, full of new wave aesthetics, wicked synth work and an intense Rollercoaster of emotions for the few daring ones, straight from the 80s, “humid bedrooms”. An impeccable blend of new wave, dream pop and bedroom pop that according to the artist was written ‘a love affair that was both tumultuous and amazing, good and bad, extreme highs and extreme lows. The constant of good and bad became cyclical.’ Psyched!
