Pauline Herr is at her most vulnerable on her new single, “Bleeding Out,” a cyberpunk lullaby for chronic overthinkers.
Crackling with electric tension, the stunning track is available now via SLANDER's Heaven Sent label. True to form, Herr's lyrics cut deep like daggers, creating a space between self-destruction and rebirth.
“Liminal, I'm stuck in the space between / Self-criticism. Yes, I'll try to be patient / I'm bleeding out,” she screams.
As the song reaches its climax, Herr's promise to “be okay” feels less like a hope and more like a battle cry. Meanwhile, his intense production pulses like a relentless heart monitor, tracking the vital signs of a mind on the brink. But he jumps off the cliff at the moment of the fall, a dark and disorienting four-on-the-floor sequence that transports us to a purgatory dance floor where demons and determination collide.
Herr says he began recording this deeply personal track during a solo retreat in Joshua Tree.
“I forgot my microphone at home, so I recorded the entire vocal on my MacBook Pro,” he explains. “There was so much emotion in the original takes that I ended up leaving them for the final version.”
