Dom Malin Drops New Single ‘bloodmoon’
With bloodmoon, Dom Malin delivers a hauntingly beautiful meditation on connection, memory, and the quiet gravity of human emotion. Rooted in his signature indie-folk warmth and tinged with subtle Americana, the British singer-songwriter’s latest release is a compelling addition to his growing catalog of introspective gems. It’s the kind of song that doesn’t just settle in your ears — it lingers in your chest, resonating with that unspoken ache we all carry for people and places that still live in our hearts.
Malin’s songwriting here is deceptively simple yet deeply poetic. The metaphor of the blood moon — rare, magnetic, quietly powerful — becomes a vessel for exploring the enduring bonds we share with those who may no longer be in our lives but remain a part of us. He paints with light: the glow of memory, the pull of distant affection, the delicate comfort of knowing someone out there still holds a piece of your soul. There’s a timeless quality to the way he captures this feeling — it’s nostalgic, yes, but also grounded and true.
The production on bloodmoon is rich and immersive, with amber-toned instrumentation that builds organically around Malin’s vulnerable vocals. Gentle acoustic strums, ambient textures, and restrained percussion form a soundscape that feels both intimate and cinematic. Influences from his time in the States — touches of Americana and roots rock — blend effortlessly with his UK folk sensibilities, creating a track that feels familiar yet fresh, grounded yet expansive.
At the heart of bloodmoon is Malin’s voice — earnest, weathered in just the right way, and full of quiet conviction. He doesn’t overreach emotionally; instead, he lets the song breathe, giving space for the listener to feel alongside him. There’s a rawness in his delivery that makes every line land a little deeper, especially when he sings about the comfort of a distant presence still bringing warmth to one’s life.
Bloodmoon is not just another single — it’s a statement. It marks a confident step forward for Dom Malin as he prepares to release his collaborative EP with Luna Keller later this year. Thoughtful, cinematic, and emotionally resonant, this track reaffirms Malin’s place as one of the UK’s most promising indie-folk voices. Bloodmoon is a gentle reminder that some connections — like lunar events — are rare, radiant, and unforgettable.
It is easy to see why a songwriter might be drawn to a story like this. Relationships rarely finish as neatly as people would like, and the space between “it is over” and “maybe we should try again” can produce plenty of material. For Dysmusia, that space becomes the setting for latest single “In your eyes”, out now through Now Listen.
The Irish singer-songwriter has a knack for keeping his writing close to everyday life, and this track benefits from that approach. He looks at an old relationship that has already gone through several attempts at making things work, then focuses on what happens when those feelings start creeping back in.
What makes the song appealing is the balance between sincerity and a lighter touch. Dysmusia is clearly invested in the situation, but he does not turn every moment into a grand declaration. There is room for a bit of humour and hesitation along the way, which keeps the song feeling natural.
The arrangement gives the song a pleasing lift. Acoustic guitar sits at the heart of it, with the dropped tuning adding some richness and a second guitar bringing extra colour. The result has folk at its core but carries enough indie-rock influence to give it a little extra punch.
Dysmusia’s Irish background is another part of the picture. Based between Antrim and Dublin and coming from a musical family, he has developed a style that puts storytelling alongside contemporary guitar sounds.
“In your eyes” brings those influences together without making a fuss about them. It is a personable, melodic track about feelings that refuse to follow a neat timetable, delivered with enough warmth to make the story easy to get behind.
