miso808 serves up some scintillating late-night listening with her new EP Bedtime Stories mp3 — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
The debut EP from Shanghai-raised, L.A.-based musician and artist merges childhood memories with adult experiences, reimagining bedtime stories through the lens of modern alternative music. This a bilingual, genre-bending work that defies traditional song structures, playing out like a cinematic journey. Blending elements of indie, alternative pop and alternative R&B, each track unfolds a unique chapter in a storybook-like experience, guiding listeners through an introspective journey that balances intimacy with grandiosity.
miso808 produced and wrote nearly all of the tracks on the EP, showcasing her artistic vision and commitment to storytelling. Each song is inspired by an original story she wrote, extending the project beyond music into literature. These stories will be available in physical zines and on a dedicated digital platform, further immersing fans in her world and providing a tangible connection to the themes of the EP. This dual approach highlights miso808’s ability to seamlessly blend auditory and visual art, creating a multifaceted experience for her audience.
The EP’s focus track Misirlou is both seductive and empowering, and with a distinct touch of Eastern musical influence. The track flips the iconic ’60s surf-rock hit on its head with a bold, radio-ready hook and fierce, bilingual verses that combine for an ambitiously unique offering. Meanwhile, Crown is a haunting ballad about self-realization that builds from quiet piano to an intense, synth-driven crescendo; 1001 reimagines the famous One Thousand and One Nights story with a modern twist in Mandarin; and Dazzling is a heart-wrenching alt-pop track exploring the dangers of mistaking passion for love. The EP’s closing tracks, Intuition and Meant To Be, offer contrasting perspectives on love and self-discovery, capturing both the excitement and anxiety of queer awakening, as well as the bittersweet acceptance that follows.
Bedtime Stories mp3 is an invitation to a unique, immersive world where each song is part of a larger narrative. This journey is designed for introspective listeners, blending Eastern and Western influences and offering a raw, honest look into the emotions and experiences that shape us. miso808 has crafted a world that not only allows fans to engage with her work on a deeper level, but also underscores her ambition to bridge cultural divides and connect with a global audience. Resonating with alternative, Y2K, and Webcore aesthetics, Bedtime Stories mp3 reflects modern culture with a touch of nostalgia.
miso808 considers herself a multimedia storyteller. She was a classically trained pianist but began writing songs on the guitar as a child. Initially, music was a way for her to learn English, but miso808 quickly became captivated by music as a form of storytelling. Although she first focused on filmmaking in America, she never stopped making music. Now her film background inspires her cinematic sound, and visuals play an integral role in her narrative.
