Psylhouette, the genre-defying duo formed by Brighton-based Tristan and Berlin’s Juli Holz, are set to release their electrifying new single “Moonlight”, the lead track from their highly anticipated third album, Psylhouette III.
Since its inception in 2014 as a solo project, Psylhouette has evolved into a powerful collaboration between Tristan’s multi-instrumental production and the ethereal vocals of Juli Holz. After two albums blending new wave, krautrock, and shoegaze, the duo is now pushing the boundaries of their sound with a more electronic approach. This shift marks a pivotal moment in their creative journey, setting the stage for live shows in 2025 and expanding their sonic universe.
“Moonlight” is a stunning example of this new direction, blending lush, layered guitars to create a sweeping soundscape that feels both expansive and intimate. Juli’s vocals are effortlessly haunting, gliding over the track’s dynamic build-up and leading listeners through a cathartic journey. The track crescendos into a powerful, almost fuzzy grunge-rock energy, embracing a raw emotional depth that speaks to the duo’s unique ability to merge contrasting genres into one cohesive sound.
The lyrics delve into the complexity of the human experience. “Moonlight” captures the eternal dance between highs and lows, the power of conquering fears, and the resilience to navigate the uncertainty of life. Juli’s emotive vocal delivery underscores the track’s themes of self-reflection and transformation, making “Moonlight” a truly wondrous sonic exploration and listening experience.
In addition to “Moonlight”, the album will feature tracks like “The Mysteries of Secret Fire”, which takes listeners back to Psylhouette’s new-wave roots, and “Everything is Fine”, a euphoric synth-laden anthem that invites listeners to transcend reality. Tristan also joins in on vocals throughout the rest of the album in what is the first time the duo sing together on recording, and the pair work together harmoniously.
Psylhouette III promises to showcase a bold new chapter in the duo’s career, merging their signature dark pop and electronic psychedelica in an evocative and experimental body of work.
“Moonlight” signals Psylhouette’s bold step into the future of their sound, where electronic elements meet rich, organic textures, creating a truly immersive offering. With this release, Psylhouette once again proves they are not only artists of their time but are setting the pace for the next wave of dark, electronic pop.
