Mixed Signals, the Scottish alternative group hailing from Ayr, just dropped their latest single "Different Frequencies" — and honestly, it’s a masterclass in emotional complexity. The track dives headfirst into that messy space where modern relationships live and breathe.
These guys have built their reputation on emotionally charged songwriting. Their guitar-driven arrangements? Absolutely expansive.
What started as a stripped-back concept has morphed into something much bolder. "Different Frequencies" soars with cinematic guitar textures that’ll give you chills, while the rhythm section drives everything forward with relentless energy.
Ben Gardiner’s vocal delivery is nothing short of expressive — it’s anthemic yet feels like he’s singing directly to you. The sound manages to be both massive and intimate at once.
Thematically, this one hits different. The song explores that complicated headspace between love and uncertainty, you know? That feeling when you stay in a relationship because leaving seems scarier than staying put.
Mixed Signals has always gravitated toward emotional vulnerability in their work. Here, they’re leaning into that honesty completely — capturing the precarious balance between genuine connection and plain old self-preservation.
