Moreish Idols Unveil Cosmic Journey in Single ‘Pale Blue Dot’

The South London band Moreish Idols has dropped a compelling new track, ‘Pale Blue Dot’, that is not just a song but an invitation to introspection and ego death. With a concoction of melodious acoustics and philosophical depth, the single is poised to become this year’s thought-provoking anthem.

The record, arriving on Speedy Wunderground as their landmark 50th 7” release, holds within its grooves not just the original track but also a captivating ‘Pale Blue Dub’ remix by the talented Dan Carey. The release encapsulates a journey through various creative processes, an echoing testament to the musical and existential metamorphosis the band and the song itself have undergone. Here’s a glimpse into what the band had to say:

• “Pale Blue Dot has been through many iterations, from simple drum machine / guitar demo, to an evil krautrock demon hellscape.”
• “A spontaneous decision led by Dan Carey brought us to his studio at the early hours of 8 AM to encapsulate the song in a new, stripped-down arrangement, played on acoustic guitars…”
• “…it’s a very special one for us.” – Moreish Idols

Pale Blue Dot’ implores the listener to relinquish their creative preciousness and embrace the overwhelming scale of existence. The single’s message is clear: to confront and dismantle one’s ego, to become part of the larger cosmic picture—the very same journey the song itself has traversed.

With recent releases ‘Float’ and ‘Lock Eyes and Collide’, Moreish Idols have been consistently delivering music that resonates. Continuing to ride this wave of artistic expression, the band is setting up to celebrate the 50th release with a special show at London’s Shacklewell Arms on September 30th, joined by guests Disgusting Sisters and other alumni from Speedy Wunderground.

And if you’re eager to see this transformative ensemble live, Moreish Idols has a string of dates coming up:

• SEPTEMBER: Sebright Arms, London; Beautiful Ones, Hassocks Festival, Sussex; Shacklewell Arms, London
• OCTOBER: Beyond The Music, Manchester; Left of the Dial Festival, Netherlands (two dates).
