🍷 MATE “Lies on Fire”
MATE is an underground shoegaze artist whose self-released work has been described as emotionally driven and thought provoking. Her lyrics juxtapose dark themes of abandonment and nostalgia with strong emotions of sexuality and power. She cites her aesthetic influences as 1980s goth bands, French New Wave cinema, and contemporary doom and dream pop. Lies on Fire, the latest studio album by MATE, features a collector’s edition box made especially for fans.
