Pink Mario and the racing heart of "Nightfall"

 

"hey can you feel it? when the night falls..."


"Nightfall" by UK alien presence Pink Mario slips easily between you and your earthly coil and maybe even between time and space. The translucent synth sounds and beat the conjures up vessels through universes and a conga line simultaneously doesn't feel oppressive whatsoever even though it seeps in you head and pushes those angst and dance buttons. PM's vocal aesthetic hushed and easy, sultry with vocal cajoles and bits of insomnious tensions sound beautiful. The track draws more emotion when the vox move into high registers. The song is about "how heavy emotions can feel pressing down on your sternum like a big anchor" and you can feel that tightness percolating like a racing heart within the lightness. It is like the sustained relief after hard emotions have subsided, seeped inside you and made you realize that you can handle it after all. 

Dance.

I’m Pink Mario. My space ship crash landed on Earth 29 years ago, and since then I've learned to live among humans. Every song I make is a message for P1, bundled up with hope, nostalgia, excitement and melancholy. Tim, my human manager, tells me I'm what you get if you cross Beach House, David Bowie and The Weeknd.
