New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Midheaven has released their latest single, "M.H.D.," a song that delves into the difficulties posed by mental health challenges. The duo's blend of alternative, dream-pop, and new-wave creates a unique soundscape that transports listeners into Midheaven's unique world. "M.H.D." is available to stream and download on all digital platforms.
"M.H.D." presents itself as a buoyant and hopeful musical piece, yet its underlying message diverges significantly from this facade. The acronym stands as a stark representation of "Mental Health Decline," serving as a poignant commentary on the arduous journey through the depths of deteriorating mental well-being. Within the composition, subtle references echo the daunting trials and tribulations intrinsic to such a harrowing journey. Band member Andy DeLuca elucidated on the intricacies surrounding mental health struggles, expressing that "It's difficult to communicate to others when I'm battling depression because there's this underlying fear of a negative response such as being judged or rejected for it." This sentiment underscores the thematic richness embedded within "M.H.D." The track's creation was a labor of love and dedication, with every element meticulously crafted by the talented duo of Midheaven, comprising DeLuca and
Sarah Eiseman. Notably, the intricate nuances of the piece were further enhanced through the expertise of Matthew Pauling (Blink 182, 5SOS, Good Charlotte), who lent his skills in mixing, mastering, and additional production, thus elevating the emotional resonance and sonic depth of the composition to greater heights.
Midheaven emerges as the vibrant offspring of the romantic and creative union between Andy DeLuca and
Sarah Eiseman. Their paths converged through a shared admiration of each other's artistry, with
Sarah leaving her mark in the Polaroid and film-photography sphere while balancing her work in healthcare and elderly care, and DeLuca immersing himself in the music industry as a touring photographer, visual artist, and video director. The pivotal moment of their meeting occurred during DeLuca's 2018 tour, where they officially connected in New York City, initiating a creative partnership that proved inseparable. With Eiseman's innate gift for poetry and singing complementing DeLuca's background in drumming and instrumental demos, their collaborative journey naturally evolved toward music-making. Inspired by a mutual love for the 80s and 90s music, they embarked on crafting a unique blend of genres, refining their craft until they felt ready to unveil their sonic creations to the world. Their debut single, "Heaven," released in November 2023, showcased their mastery, blending ethereal shoegaze and new wave elements into a mesmerizing sonic landscape. Leveraging their skills as visual artists and music video directors, DeLuca and Eiseman brought their artistic vision to life, crafting their own visuals, single art, and press photos—all while basking in the comfort of their shared home, deep in love and surrounded by their beloved shih-tzu, Pebbles.
