Developing from hypnotic rock intrigue into a swell of invigoration, “my blue heaven” is a new track from FHMY, also featuring AQL. FHMY — who grew up in Cairo, Egypt — describes the release as “about a recent breakup, fueled with intense shoegazy vibes and drowning the mix, which only felt right to do so.”
Twangy guitar crawls inject a dreamy entrancement to start, as contemplative vocals enter following a pit-pattering percussive unfolding. A bass-y foreboding also takes hold. The elongated vocals exude a melancholic, reflective immersion — rising the intensity as swells of guitar distortion envelop prior to the two-minute turn. “my blue heaven” grips with its heady guitar textures, reflecting a shoegaze-y richness in its layering, and represents a strongly memorable offering from FHMY and AQL.
