New York, NY (Top40 Charts) In March 2019, the UK native, formerly Paris-, now San Francisco-based indie/electronic artist Micropixie will release her new album Dark Sight Of The Moon. Today, she has shared a new video for the song "New Year's Day," which is currently streaming via Glide Magazine who writes that "the song takes a high-concept approach to offering commentary on a world that is torn by injustice, violence and war, and financial misdoings."
Known in human form as Neshma Friend, Micropixie is the alien alter-ego and creative persona through which Friend's voice finds its muse.

Describing the video, Micropixie writes: "My 'New Year's Day' video explores themes of socioeconomic inequality, xenophobia and patriarchal oppression through the story of two brown women: one is free to walk around the world, and the other, seemingly confined to her living room. I felt that by juxtaposing the webcam-like antics of the 'Insider' with the playful behaviour of the 'Outsider', the viewer might ponder the relationship between the two characters. Are they different representations of the same person in time? Or is one of them dreaming the other? Also, since the primary motif within my third album - Dark Sight of the Moon - pertains to vision, watching, and seeing things as they really are, I invite the viewer to question who is observing whom here."

Made with award-winning producer Galician producer Paco Serén of Spain underground legends Los Piratas, and featuring contributions from Rob Myers and Ashish "Hash" Vyas of Thievery Corporation, Dark Sight of the Moon layers psych-pop instrumentation over Micropixie's melodically deadpan vocals to create a hypnotic mix that she calls "Tripadelica." Dark Sight of the Moon is intergalactic in scope, international in outlook, and highly personal in its invitation to the listener to step into Micropixie's uncannily enticing world.

The new record is the last chapter in a narratively-linked trilogy of albums alongsideThe Good, The Beige & The Ugly (2012), and Alice In Stevie Wonderland (2005). The triptych of albums tells the story of Micropixie's journey to earth and her conflicted search for her true identity among humans, whose behavior she finds illogical. This sci-fi journey parallels Friend's personal reflections on her own real-world background and international heritage. Micropixie summarizes this complex interweaving of fact, fiction, and cultural politics in her animated short film, "50 Shades of Beige".
