The New York- and London-based alt-pop artist combines experimental electronics, haunting vocals and a celebration of individuality on her Halloween-inspired release.
Alternative pop artist I’MMORTAL has released her latest single, “SWAMP MONSTER,” out now through her label Immortality. Combining distorted electronic basslines, aggressive rhythms and eerie vocal textures, the track explores self-acceptance through a deliberately strange and unconventional sound.
Inspired by filmmaker John Waters' cult classic Pink Flamingos, “SWAMP MONSTER” examines the idea of embracing the parts of ourselves that society might consider undesirable or unacceptable.
“I love how leaning into filth was the main character Divine's armor against traditional society's constructs,” I’MMORTAL explains. “‘SWAMP MONSTER’ is a playful exploration of the unconventional. It's about diving into the murky, taboo corners of your identity and reclaiming them as a source of strength.”
Musically, the single blends hard-hitting electronic percussion with gritty bass, experimental synthesizers and I’MMORTAL's whispery, haunting vocals. Its unsettling atmosphere and playful sense of rebellion make it a fitting addition to the Halloween season.
Written and produced by I’MMORTAL, the track was mixed and mastered by Mikaelin Bluespruce, whose previous credits include Solange, Mariah Carey, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Blood Orange.
Originally from California, I’MMORTAL developed her musical foundation through years of classical violin training and participation in orchestras. She later discovered her passion for singing through musical theater before developing an interest in electronic dance music and its possibilities for experimental production.
Her work draws inspiration from artists including Sevdaliza, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Lana Del Rey and Björk, combining electronic music with theatrical presentation and surreal imagery.
Since debuting in 2023 with the tech-house single “Versace Spaceship,” I’MMORTAL has accumulated more than half a million Spotify streams and attracted attention from publications including Rolling Stone UK, CLASH, DJ Mag Spain and EARMILK.
Previous releases such as “KILLED U IN A DREAM” and “Uncanny Valley” have also received remixes from electronic producers including biskuwi, Droid Bishop and Das Mörtal.
“SWAMP MONSTER” continues I’MMORTAL's exploration of identity, transformation and the relationship between beauty and the bizarre.
The single is available now on streaming platforms.
