LA-based post punk/dream pop/alt collective Beauty In Chaos have aired their new single ‘Diving For Pearls’, featuring THE MISSION‘s trailblazer Wayne Hussey and Cinthya Hussey, his wife and partner in their duo Archeometre.
The song features of the upcoming album ‘Dancing With Angels’, due out on July 24 via 33.3 Music Collective. Grab it here.
Mixed by the legendary Tim Palmer, whose production and mixing credits include The Cure, U2, David Bowie, Robert Plant, HIM and Psychedelic Furs, this is the fourth song Wayne Hussey has fronted with Beauty In Chaos and the second single graced by Cinthya. “I have been fortunate once again to mix BIC’ latest offering and it’s a beauty! But beware, you can’t just hear it once as it will stay with you all day,” says Palmer.
With an alluring overlapping-reality video, this is “a torrid earworm of a song with lots of swirling layers”. Beauty In Chaos, formed in 2018 by guitarist MICHAEL CIRAVOLO.
Wayne Hussey shares:
“I must confess that I was getting worried that I’d never be able to write another song – ever. I was raking over all my old lyric notebooks and various word documents on old hard drives and still nada. I was bemoaning my situation to Cinthya one evening and she suggested I write about a personal situation I’d found myself in a few years back. I got my mind focused in the right direction, and while in the studio singing along to the track, I soon got the first line, with the rest following fairly easily…and quickly. It was a huge relief to have the elusive muse visit me again.”
Ciravolo scoffs affectionately at Hussey’s recollection, “I think he has told me that every time I have sent him music! He cries wolf of ‘no words’, yet he proceeds to one-up our preceding song, which was damn good in my slightly biased opinion. The man is a genuine poet!”
Cinthya Hussey adds: “When I first heard the instrumental track for this song I immediately fell in love with Michael’s guitars. It’s the kind of song that embraces you… and I could listen to it all day long. Wayne was a bit stuck for ideas so I threw an idea at him that was relevant and would be good to get out of his system… And off he went… majestically so! This is probably one of my favourite Beauty In Chaos songs!”
