[LISTEN] pure xtc – “Shadow”

After a thrilling debut EP release, pure xtc is back for more. The project of multi-instrumentalist, Taylor Hughes, pure xtc is gearing up for a new era, and first taste, “Shadow” is proof we’re in for yet another head-turner!

An anthem for the overthinkers, “Shadow” delves into the throes of anxiety and the inner monologue that refuses to shut up set to a haunting soundtrack of chilling synths – classic pure xtc. Expect more in the coming months!

“When you’re so antisocial the only confrontation you have is internal, that’s ‘Shadow’ in a nutshell,” shared Hughes. “The song is dedicated to my wishy-washy internal dialogue, I feel like I’m in a constant state of overthinking situations – past and current, playing out different scenarios in my head until I feel like I can explode. This is the main character theme song for all my fellow over thinkers.”
