Her Motives Are Silent’s new EP, Running, presents a deep and introspective dive into the themes of fear and anxiety. The project, led by Calgary artist Michael Valenzuela, serves as a precursor to the forthcoming album, Love Muse. The EP features multiple versions of the title track, each offering a unique perspective on the emotional landscape Valenzuela seeks to explore. The title track, “Running,” sets the tone for the EP with its haunting melodies and rich sonic textures. The song captures the essence of feeling overwhelmed and the struggle to confront one’s inner fears. Its atmospheric soundscape and melancholic undertones create a reflective mood, drawing listeners into a space where they are invited to question their own anxieties and what they might be fleeing from. The “Radio Edit” of “Running” streamlines the original track, making it more accessible while preserving its core emotional impact. This version maintains the introspective vibe of the original but with a more polished and radio-friendly sound.
The “Mickey Valenz Remix” takes a different approach, infusing the track with a fresh rhythm and electronic elements. This remix offers a more dynamic and upbeat take on the song, making it suitable for different listening environments while still keeping the reflective nature of the original. The “Instrumental” version of “Running” strips away the vocals, allowing listeners to focus solely on the lush orchestral and electronic arrangements. This version highlights the intricate production work and gives the music a cinematic quality that stands on its own. Similarly, the “Radio Edit Instrumental” provides a polished, radio-ready version of the instrumental track. It balances the cinematic feel with a cleaner production, making it more versatile for various listening contexts.
The “Mickey Valenz Remix Instrumental” offers a new twist on the remix, featuring an instrumental version that showcases the remix’s fresh beats and electronic influences without the vocal layer. This version adds a different dimension to the remix, providing a unique listening experience. Running by Her Motives Are Silent is a compelling EP that delves into the themes of anxiety and self-discovery with a rich blend of alternative, post-rock, and darkwave elements. Each track version provides a distinct take on the song, offering listeners multiple ways to engage with the music. Michael Valenzuela’s project stands out for its emotional depth and intricate production, promising an intriguing lead-up to the upcoming album, Love Muse.
