“A pop-metal requiem”: The Pretty Wild unleash new single with Magnolia Park

The Pretty Wild have just released a new single featuring Magnolia Park.

Entitled Afterlife, the track is taken from the duo’s debut album zero.point.genesis, which arrives on November 21 via Sumerian.

Jules reveals that it “circles the idea of star-crossed souls bound by something ancient and unbreakable. Conceptually it’s plucked from the kind of love you find in mythology and old tragedies, where you have this obsessive devotion and destruction. It isn’t perfect, but it's dark, beautiful and eternal.”

“Afterlife explores the idea that love dynamics are rooted in co-dependent magnetism and resonance patterns,” continues Jyl. “It asks, ‘What happens when obsession doesn’t end with death, but carries your soul into magnetising eternal dynamics?’ The result is kinda tragic and romantically glitchy. It’s basically a pop-metal requiem.”
