deadmau5 & FOSTER THE PEOPLE
TEAM UP ON SLOW-BURNING SINGLE
“hyperlandia”
NEW SINGLE OUT NOW ON mau5trap
LISTEN HERE
Electronic music auteur deadmau5 returns today (October 29) with “hyperlandia,” a low-lit, slow-burning single featuring pop experimenters Foster the People. Like a lot of deadmau5’s most moving tracks, it’s an intricate and thoughtful mix of dizzying synth melodies and anthemic vocals, and it's out now on his mau5trap label.
“hyperlandia'' is a yearning track, searching for the sublime in romantic melodies and neon electronics. deadmau5’s production is complex, yet tender, with twinkling synth arpeggios and rumbling drums that feel both ornate and intimate. Meanwhile, Foster the People frontman Mark Foster echoes the song’s emotional core. “Give me your best night,” he sings. “We’re only here for a day so don’t tell me your name / And just melt into my arms while we disappear in the darkness.” “hyperlandia” dreams of escape—the proper soundtrack for aimless late-night drives, finding comfort in the empty streets and the company of someone you love.
