'Electronic duo Pale Blue returns to Crosstown Rebels with their long-awaited sophomore album 'Maria', revealing a spellbinding eight-track trip across electronic spheres. After forming their critically acclaimed Pale Blue project with their debut album 'The Past We Leave Behind' in 2015, Mike Simonetti (Italians Do It Better) and Elizabeth Wight (Silver Hands) have only furthered intrigue and interest in the years since, uniting for a series of expansive EPs on Simonetti's own 2MR imprint exploring dancefloor-focused acid through to gripping electronica. Having already o?ered a first look and preview into their long-awaited album return via three singles on the label, with remixes provided by DJ Tennis, Kolsch, Fort Romeau and Perel, mid-May sees Simonetti, and Wight finally reveal their sophomore album 'Maria' on Damian Lazarus' Crosstown Rebels - o?ering a uniquely raw yet seamlessly polished trip into their idiosyncratic world. 'Maria' is an album of love songs - the good, the bad, and the ugly... The album is written entirely in Elizabeth's voice. These are all her words - her thoughts, based on her personal experience. When writing this record I took inspiration from classic rock LP sequencing, and tried to dial in on a coherent concept, a natural flow. Although these are clearly techno tracks, one would argue they have more in common with rock music than dance music. I wanted to try to make something a little di?erent, verse/chorus/verse tracks but still heavy enough for the club, full of melody and emotion... poppy but not THAT kind of poppy. Pale Blue has been known to take on political subject matter in the past, but the politics of love is something we can all relate to.' - Mike Simonetti.
