Mistress Moon take a calm, measured approach with their latest single “Playing Games.” The duo—Joey Francis (Bad Nonno) and John Anthony DeJoria—released the track on April 18, offering up a lo-fi song that’s subtle, slow-moving, and easy to sink into.
Split between Los Angeles and Austin, the pair base their project around a fictional muse they call Mistress Moon—an idea that blends emotion, atmosphere, and femininity. That concept comes through clearly in “Playing Games,” a track shaped by soft synths, light percussion, and a vocal loop that feels more like a memory than a hook.
The track isn’t built for dramatic moments. It just moves gently, giving space for each sound to sit. Everything’s intentional: the pacing, the restraint, the mood. It’s the kind of song that doesn’t push—it pulls you in.
Mistress Moon tend to keep things visual and conceptual, but “Playing Games” doesn’t need a big story to land. It’s quiet, thoughtful, and made to be felt over time. Just press play and let it sit with you.
