Los Angeles Dreampop Artist Misty Boyce Shares Her New Single "i do"
LA dreampop artist Misty Boyce has officially released her latest single "i do," off her upcoming LP “genesis”. "i do" follows on the heels of Boyce's single "genesis (n)one," featuring Taylor Goldsmith from Dawes. Boyce's new album “genesis” is out September 25th.
There’s an uncertainty in the moments after a disaster; a tentative hope that the worst is over and a wary fear that you’ve only just reached the eye of the storm. Los Angeles indie-pop artist Misty Boyce’s new album genesis captures this moment with stark clarity and raw beauty. Throughout its ten tracks, “genesis” finds Boyce laid emotionally bare while simultaneously chronicling a society on the precipice of a long overdue shift, exploring mortality, new love, and changing gender & social structures. “There’s been an awakening about the female experience in the world,” says Boyce. “I found myself looking back at my religious upbringing and realizing how much that storytelling informed the way that I move through the world as a woman, and how toxic it is. It’s been really freeing to realize that those were just stories and that I don’t have to live by those archetypes.”
A sought-after keyboardist, Boyce has spent years playing alongside award winning artists including Sara Bareilles, BØRNS, Lord Huron, Sting, Ingrid Michaelson & more, all the while continuing to release records of her own to critical acclaim. Her third LP—2018’s “chronicle of trauma, depression, & religion, Get Lost”—was met with praise from numerous media outlets including NYLON, Uproxx, Gold Flake Paint, Issue Magazine, The Wild Honey Pie, Substream Magazine, The Autumn Roses & more.
Following the release, Boyce embarked on an extended touring cycle, where playing through her traumas every night informed a decision that her next record was going to be different. “I wanted to make a record that feels good, but also to talk about real shit,” says Boyce. “For better or worse, I wear my heart on my sleeve, and I can’t avoid saying how I feel all the time. It felt natural & right to be honest and bear everything on Get Lost, but I’m happy to share another side of life on genesis—when you go through something sad or traumatic, you can come out the other side and move on.”
