Mïus now releases the track 'Strobe & Noise' as a single, which is definitely one of the highlight cuts on the LP. The moody electronic dealing features the hypnotic vocals of Kasia Kowalczyk. Included in the single pack is a remix by The Black 80s, which is a huskier rework in terms of synths and drum programming, but no less deep. You can preview a stream of 'Strobe & Noise' below.
