Serebii releases experimental, booty shaking new single ‘MIA’
A year since the breakout success of his second title album, Dime, New Zealand composer Serebii has announced his next single MIA, out today March 6.
Abandoning much of the tempered folk-y chill of Dime, Serebii’s playful new track MIA begins as an experimental crunch of monologues and ambient synths, before evolving into a richly layered dance track designed to make your booty shake.
Inspired by a voice note from his friend Chris Jackson, Serebii finished MIA in a single day. Its restless energy came from a happy accident, a synth patch created by converting an image of a Labrador into sound using a spectral format, exploring what lingers when the familiar drifts away.
Serebii explains the story behind new single MIA.
MIA shrugs off the idea of arrival altogether, Jimper, an Aussie Labrador who took a wrong turn, bounds along, ignoring the laws of geography entirely. A track for when directions argue in multiple languages. It opens ambient, like a compass on a smoke break; punchy drums slice through, and a simple, intimate vocal hook drifts into focus, guiding you through a place that never quite sits still.
