Boston darkwave duo Ex-Hyena have released a new single/EP that you're going to want to check out. Shapeshifter consists of two songs ("Shapeshifter" and "Reptile," which were both included on last year's A Kiss of the Mind) and remixes of those songs. "Shapeshifter" is a wonderfully minimalistic darkwave song that is instantly mesmerizing. The true joy of darkwave is how dark and foreboding the music can be, but it will still compel you to dance. That is the specialty of Ex-Hyena. "Reptile" is just as minimalist, but this song is more brooding than dance friendly. Both of these new tracks fit perfectly into the world of Ex-Hyena. The three remixes are by Big Time Kill, Slighter, and Dread Risks, and up the dance factor a bit while still keeping the originals' brooding qualities.
You can watch the video for "Shapeshifter" below. Shapeshifter is out now via Re:Mission Entertainment, and is available through Bandcamp. For more on Ex-Hyena, check out the band on Instagram.
