"The collection of songs that make up Detached Engagement are our most personal and emotionally revealing tracks. Recorded over a period of emotional turbulence where we lost loved ones and uncertainty seemed the only constant. Our studio became a hide away, a place of refuge where we could direct our energies into a creative act of understanding and hope. We reconfigured our subversive pop to fit our present situation, the distortion was dialed back, the gauzy tape worn ambiguity was replaced by a more in focus directness. Every song was stripped back to its essential elements revealing a newfound complexity in our song writing and arrangement. Our devotion to the power of pop has not diminished, we still hold firm that it is a subversive medium to communicate ideas outside of the conventional messages of love and other frivolities. It still has the power to bring people together around a shared vision of how things could be. We are happy to present these ten missives of post-industrial romance, existential melancholy, new beginnings, songs that linger in the half-light of '80s synth-pop, '90s trip-hop and electronica. It's not all that heavy, this one is for the slow dancers and the close dancers." --The Mistys
