MUUI Opens a New Chapter With Through Closed Eyes

MUUI’s Through Closed Eyes EP lands as a fully realized statement of what makes his sound so distinctive. Released on Songspire Records, the three-track collection expands on his reputation for organic, hardware-driven production that blurs the line between performance and composition.

The lead single, “Through Closed Eyes,” immediately sets the tone. Its rolling, bubbling low end moves like a tide, steady and hypnotic, while light melodic layers drift above it, unfolding slowly and deliberately. The track feels alive in motion, guided by touch rather than automation.

The Sound of Patience and Precision

MUUI has long been known for his approach to texture and restraint, and this EP captures that with precision. “Gentle Resistance” stretches out with patient pacing and muted percussion, giving space for every synth phrase to breathe. “The Hardest Soft I” closes the record with a sense of emotional release, driven by soft chords that fade into the background as if dissolving back into silence. Across all three tracks, his production maintains a sense of balance—rhythmic but never hurried, melodic but never overstated.

What makes Through Closed Eyes stand out is how personal it feels within MUUI’s broader catalog. His bio describes his process as one of instinct and exploration, building from live hardware sessions that emphasize texture, tone, and imperfection. That sense of immediacy carries through every moment of this EP. You can feel the push and pull of analog control—the small variations in timing, the shifting pulse of modulation—that keep each track feeling human.

MUUI has been building toward this sound for years through a steady string of releases that have made him a familiar name within the progressive and melodic house scene. This record feels like a culmination of that growth, channeling the exploratory tone of his past work into something clear and intentional. Through Closed Eyes is both transportive and grounded, a reminder of how much depth can be found in simplicity when every sound is placed with care.
