Today, MyVeronica—the LA-based DIY rock project of Mia Lin—released her new single, “Sacred Heart.” The song is ” a practice of vulnerability, both musical and emotional,” Lin explains. “The use of clean tones and sparse arrangements cultivates an honesty that is beautiful and painfully raw. Moments of calm are interrupted tby screaming guitars, echoing the volatile nature of life. This song is an expression of love, a reminder to hold on to the things that matter most. A reminder to choose love, even if it hurts.”

The Farewell Skylines EP is due for independent release August 8.

The track will be a part of Farewell Skylines, a collaborative EP between MyVeronica and fellow LA rocker Friend’s House (aka Tristin Souvannarath). The two have teamed up and compiled a disc containing two songs written by each artist, taking inspiration from growing up in the city’s scene together. “The songs on this EP were influenced by our shared experiences of going on tour with different bands, as much as the feelings of navigating life and love as a whole,” Souvannarath comments. “The title, which I coined and that Mia found fitting, refers to the spiritual act of saying farewell to some place and some time; moving on to new places and different times, trying to hold on to infinity in the ephemeral.” Lin adds that much of the sound comes from the rock bands that emerged from LA in the 90s and early 2000s who have embraced collaborative projects, paying homage to acts like Jimmy Eat World, Mineral, Christie Front Drive, and more. “Playing in the Los Angeles indie scene, there’s so much cross pollination influencing our bands and we want to celebrate it,” she says. “These are the most collaborative MyVeronica songs yet. We are embarking in a new direction, shedding some of the fuzz and mystique of our last release and carving our own sound.”
