Listen: Pastel Ghost - "Clouds" [Premiere]
Pastel Ghost, AKA Oakland's Vivian Moon, is debut fresh cut "Clouds" exclusively on Best Fit.
Inspired by Crystal Castles, My Bloody Valentine, New Order, The Cure and more, Moon has created a fresh style of mysterious dance music that she calls 'dreamrave'. This new track combines hip-hop percussion of two decades past with rave-tinged synth stabs, pillars of smoke-addled noise, and the misty candour of Alice Glass at her mose sedate. It's beguiling, and makes the mind boggle as to why Moon isn't plastered on magazine covers worlwide - though with the release of her full-length debut, ABYSS, set to drop 10 March on 80s Ladies Records, perhaps that's just around the corner.
Speaking about the tune and explaining the themes and intentions, Moon says:
"It's a dreamy, nostalgic track with a 90s-inspired beat. It's about being alone, consumed by thoughts of another person, and that day-dreamy feeling when you're completely lost in your own head, not present where you are, thinking about someone unreachable who doesn't know or love you."
