Originally hailing from The Czech Republic and now making her mark in the London music scene, Misha Chylkova has staked her claim as a compelling and innovative artist. Having developed her sonic vision in London’s underground music scene, collaborating with artists like The Awkward Silences, David Cronenberg’s Wife and Extradition Order, Misha Chylkova made a striking entrance onto the musical stage last year with her debut double-sided single “I Will / Will You?”
The momentum continued with her sophomore single “Doing It All Wrong,” released via London’s independent label Gare Du Nord Records. Both releases showcased Misha’s collaborative spirit, featuring Darren Hayman, Ian Button and Jon Clayton while receiving extensive radio support, establishing Misha as a promising artist with a growing fan base.
Misha’s creative output is formed by pulsating, hypnotic and beautifully dark music. Her influences, ranging from the haunting sounds of Low to the experimental energy of Suicide and the timeless elegance of Marianne Faithful, shape a unique musical identity that’s entirely original and wholly captivating.
Currently immersed in the creation of her debut album, set to drop early next year, Misha Chylkova maintains her creative partnership with Darren Hayman and Ian Button. As anticipation builds for her upcoming record, Misha surprises her audience with the release of “Last Night a Stranger Carried My Tree,” a Christmas single that stands apart from the traditional holiday fare, once again released via the Gare Du Nord Records imprint.
Having wanted to craft a holiday song for a long time, Misha Chylkova has now realised her ambition in dazzling fashion via a delicate ambient pop outing which provides a seasonal song with a unique twist. Taking aim at the overly cheerful and often intrusive nature of Christmas celebration that seems to persist for a two month build up, with “Last Night a Stranger Carried My Tree,” Misha serves up a moment of sonic respite in which listeners can escape the relentless bustle and onslaught of upbeat and jingly holiday music.
Crafting an atmospheric and subtly gloomy aesthetic, with her new single, the artist presents stretching melodies delivered via hushed vocal leads that float in a gently swelling sea of dreamy sonic textures. Airy synth tones softly rise and fall as the distant chimes of bells add a touch of seasonal sparkle to the arrangement as elegant layers of vocals form a blissful listening experience that delivers an innovative Christmas single unlike any other.
With her forthcoming debut full-length release on the horizon, Misha Chylkova closes 2023 with another display of her stellar sound while next year promises to be an even more exciting time for this must-watch artist.
