'little miss independent' by midwest ten got me with the first few lines: "wires in my bloodstream, static in my teeth, monochrome billboards, silicone dreams". Those lines set the tone for the song, a sort of lo-fi bedroom electronic ditty with all the charm and understated creativity you might expect when someone pours all their passion into a piece.
Born in midwest ten’s “goth cottage” period, this track was largely cooked up in the kitchen of a tiny studio flat - proof that you don’t need big studios and big budgets to make something interesting. There are no guitars here either, purposely with only synths and percussion supporting the vocals, symbolising a new musical direction for midwest ten. The result is a straightforward, yet highly enjoyable recording which really catches the ear...both of them!
