The New York sibling Muo Duo drops their new single, “Arachnophobia,” they take a wild and witty plunge into the chaos of toxic love, framing it all within an irresistible groove. Muo Duo creators Miles and Winter Donnelly know how to mix funny, relatable, energetic, and just plain fresh and catchy into their tunes, and even then, thematically, their singles never become formulaic.
“Arachnophobia” is a sly metaphor for how webs of relationships can sometimes feel sticky and inescapable. One minute, you’re leaning into the excitement, and the next, you’re ensnared in something that’s not worth the trouble. And this song nails that tension perfectly, mixing barbed lyricism with a cheeky charm that all hits a little too close to home. Whether you’re caught in a web of the heart or love a track with some character, this one says a lot.
Muo Duo comes up with a big musical. Built on punchy trumpet hits, deep bass lines, and an insistently beat, the song’s infectious energy is hard to resist. It’s one of those songs that causes you to instinctively nod your head, coaxing you to move even as you contemplate its meaning. Their vocal interplay provides an effortless charisma.
One of the duo’s greatest strengths is their ability to add humor to even the messiest emotions. With this release on their Muo Duo Records, Miles and Winter Donnelly cement their position as indie music innovators. “Arachnophobia” shows that they’re willing to take risks, have fun with sound, and find a way to dance through life’s knotted moments.
