mxmtoon is finally releasing their two EPs "dawn" and "dusk" together on vinyl. While "dawn" is characterized by hope and optimism, "dusk" offers the counterpart and, on the other hand, is dedicated to moments of standstill and loneliness. With an impressive list of collaborators such as Merrill Garbus from Tune-Yards and Carly Rae Jepsen, mxmtoon proves their creative powers on the songs. The wonderfully shady sound of “dusk” sparkles even in the darkest moments of shadow. The beautiful ukulele on the first single "bon iver" evokes the typical mxmtoon sound with a shimmering wealth of production value, while the elegant ballad of "asking for a friend" dissolves into a beautiful, breakbeat-filled second half. Then there is "ok on your own", an R&B song with Canadian pop queen Carly Rae Jepsen. The focus of the "dawn" and "dusk" songs is a universal and understandable message: there is no happiness without sadness, and if you learn to live with both feelings, you can discover new depths in the joy of life.
