With "Perceive Yourself,"
Magenta Moon encourages individuals to be the ideal audience for their own stories, recognizing that no one else can fully understand or appreciate one's story the way they can. The lyrics and melodies intertwine to convey a powerful message of self-acceptance and self-love. It encourages listeners to fully embrace their own stories, understanding that every step in their trek has value and contributes to the larger narrative of their lives.
"We wrote this song as a reminder for ourselves and those we love that it's okay to witness yourself," says the pair. "There's nothing wrong with seeing yourself where you are. Wherever you are has value and is an important part of the world and your story. When you choose to perceive yourself, you witness your own story fully."
Behind the scenes, the mixing for "Perceive Yourself" was expertly handled by Andrew Solis, with mastering by Nick Townsend, and Patrick Mannella on drums. The accompanying music video, which will be released later this month, was directed by the visionary
Miguel Vite, and offers viewers a glimpse into
Magenta Moon's recent mini-music festival. Featuring concert footage and slice-of-life moments from the festival, the video portrays a visual narrative that perfectly complements the essence of the single.
Magenta Moon is composed of Elaina Whitesell and Joseph Petrarca, with their history spanning across the United States. Petrarca, hailing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Whitesell, born in Champaign, Illinois, crossed paths in Boston, where they not only fell in love but started making music, eventually leading them to Los Angeles in
September of 2022.
Their diverse experiences and backgrounds have shaped their music, enabling them to craft a sound that is both evocative and captivating. Their previous albums, Rapid When It Happens (2020) and I Brushed My Teeth; Let's Make Love (2021), have garnered praise from Dope Cause We Said, The 110 Pod, and R+ for their innovative sound and compelling storytelling. With a unique blend of indie-rock, pop, and electronic elements, "Perceive Yourself" serves as another compelling chapter in
Magenta Moon's music career, drawing in a variety of audiences and continuing to solidify their place in the music world.
