A dark, funeral pop track brought to you by duo <em>Ariel Levitan<\/em> and <em>Jeremy Dawson<\/em>. You\u2019ll absolutely dig the guitar lines and soft, deep vocal delivery. Complete the picture with those intertwined melodic synths and you get a fairly accurate representation of falling in and out of love in the city of lights, the city of love: Paris. The track is dark, cinematic and an understated piece of music. One that will easily find itself onto many melancholic playlists out there and be a go to track for a rainy saturday indoors or better yet, a long stroll in its grey streets, on a cold, dark, afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:left\"><strong>MXMS<\/strong> is short for \u201cme and my shadow\u201d, The pair met in Los Angeles after Ariel moved from New York City in late 2013.
