George Clanton’s Mirror Kisses made a bold statement with the release of last year’s impressive album Heartbeats. The album featured Clanton’s ability to harness a variety of pop influences, boil away the fluff, and extract shimmering glints of pure conviction worthy of display. Each song was delivered as naked, vulnerable, and full of unabashed passion. “Bleed” is Mirror Kisses’ latest and ups the ante in every way. The production is buoyant and allows Clanton’s Bowie-esque voice to howl longingly at a haunting summer moon, finally giving way to an explosive release of agitated digital blips and a front of sweeping synths.

“Bleed” is available now via his Bandcamp page.
