Glasgow-based artist Mystery Season enamors on new single “Rhinestone Lies,” casting ample mystique with its jangling guitar pulses and moody vocals. Escalating murky bass tones emerge as the vocals fade, culminating in a perky guitar line at the mid-point. Exceling with its darkly atmospheric meshing of post-punk and rock, “Rhinestone Lies” represents a firm success from Mystery Season.
