Bliss in the Chaos: A Sonic Embrace from Higher Selves Playdate

Higher Selves Playdate’s “Take Me With You” is a gentle rebellion against disconnection, a shimmering, art-rock invitation to lean in, hold on, and walk together through the noise. Released as part of their new album The New Apocalyptic, this track captures the duo’s distinctive blend of curiosity, tenderness, and poetic honesty, creating something both sonically rich and emotionally grounding.

From the moment the peppy guitar lines flicker into frame, there’s a kind of wide-eyed wonder in the air. Jessica and Steve’s voices, dreamy yet deliberate, float through textured harmonies that somehow feel both earthy and otherworldly. The production is crisp but never sterile, balancing rawness and polish in a way that mirrors the song’s emotional theme: the brave act of choosing connection, even when the world feels like it’s tilting sideways.

There’s a weightless quality to the music, but it’s not hollow. The drums, laid down by Christian Gangeri, lend a pulse that feels human, like a heartbeat reminding us to stay present. “Take Me With You” doesn’t demand your attention; it welcomes you into its orbit. And once you’re there, it feels like you’re not just listening to a song, you’re answering a quiet invitation to live more openly.

It’s introspective without being indulgent, sweet without being saccharine, a track that proves Higher Selves Playdate isn’t just making music; they’re making space for meaning.
