It was in diving into the info around the thing that I most want this year that I saw some (late) info on another release that should get people who are into good music excited — amiinA, the dynamic duo of epic fantasy dream pop art rock idols, are also putting out a new single.

All of the songs on the single (which, three, come on) are going to be new, so this ain’t it, but I’m using this awesome live performance of the awesome “Valkyrie” as that previously referenced attenuated mechanism:
