Canadian band My Own Money have a new tune out called Dark As A Dungeon and it is captivating recording which blends retro synths with a modern pop sheen. The track has an unstrained commercial appeal, but still manages to secure a sense of underground cool. In many ways, that kudos is due to Cali Platek's deadpan vocals which straddle the lines with an icy sensuality. Not to mention the fun percussive breakdown, which provides an explosive intermission.
Cali says "This song encapsulates the rawness of our emotions and the voyage to accepting them – both the shadow and the light. Sometimes the ones we cherish and look to for happiness, will instead cast on us the deepest of darkness. The more we give of our own love and energy, the less we receive in return. The song is an invitation to dance it all out."
The track comes out ahead of their forthcoming EP "Disco Asbestos".
