682) Mïrändä - Them

If you like Grimes, St. Vincent, or even CHVRCHES, Manhattan-based singer Miranda Johnson (or Mïrändä) might be right up your alley. Her fun, synthy art-pop sound is conveyed well in this track off her 2016 EP Empire. The EP shows different sides of Johnson's genre, with the opener "Memoria" having a lighter dream-pop sound and the closer "Empire" being nearer to the hard rock realm. However, "Them" does better than its fellow EP tracks to capture the electronic indie-pop vibe that stuck with Mïrändä in her newer releases. In the lyrical sense, this song is an enigma. The official chorus lyrics denote that "THEM" (in the line "you don't believe in them") is in all-caps, perhaps an indication for them being a deity, and the topic of staying unbeknownst to something ("you will never know, I don't want to know") is recurring but never explained. Although perplexing, there's something nice about it being so shrouded in fog. We'll probably never know, but maybe we don't want to know anyway.
Enjoy! ♪
