Lips of Strangers are about to take you on a sonic journey through the neon-lit streets of a dream-pop metropolis. This new band is the brainchild of Spencer Miles, a veteran of the indie rock scene with stints in bands like Space Fight and Ra Ra Riot.
“Motion” is the debut single from Lips of Strangers, and it’s a perfect introduction to the band’s unique sound. The song opens with a pulsating synth line that immediately grabs your attention, while Miles’s vocals soar above the mix with a blend of vulnerability and power. The lyrics explore themes of longing and desire, with Miles singing about a love that feels out of reach.
But “Motion” isn’t all darkness and despair. There’s a surprising lightness to the choruses, where Miles’s vocals are layered with harmonies that create a sense of euphoria. It’s a song that’s both meditative and uplifting, a perfect soundtrack for late-night drives or rainy days.
Behind the scenes, Miles has assembled a dream team of collaborators. Brian Squillace, known for his work with Odd Relics and LANNDS, co-produced and mixed the track, bringing his expertise in electronic music to the table. Kenny Bernard, a member of Ra Ra Riot, adds his rhythmic prowess on drums, while Andrew Maury, a mastering engineer with credits on albums by Shawn Mendes and Lizzo, lends his golden touch to the final product.
Lips of Strangers are just getting started, but “Motion” is a strong indication of what’s to come. This is a band that’s unafraid to experiment and push boundaries, and they’re sure to make a splash in the world of indie music. So strap in, hit play, and let the lips of these mastermind strangers take you on a wild ride through the neon-lit streets of your imagination.
