Blue Capricorn’s new single, “MISERICORDIA,” is a quiet storm of emotion, a track that lingers in the shadows long after the headphones are off. Clocking in at 3 minutes and 55 seconds, it’s the first taste of his forthcoming EP, arriving in early 2026, and it already signals a striking evolution in his sound. Partnering with Dallas-based avant-electronic producer Black Taffy, Blue Capricorn crafts a track that is at once intimate and expansive—a darkwave-infused meditation on mercy, forgiveness, and the courage to keep moving through life’s turbulence.
From the opening seconds, the listener is submerged in spectral textures: ethereal synths drift like fog over a low, deliberate pulse, while fractured percussion cuts through with subtle insistence. Blue Capricorn’s vocals are whispered and improvisational, the kind of confessional delivery that pulls you close, making every plea and reflection feel immediate. Black Taffy’s ambient sensibilities add a delicate tension, providing both contrast and complement to Blue Capricorn’s brooding presence. It’s the kind of collaboration that feels like two minds reading each other’s intentions in real time.
Lyrically, “MISERICORDIA”—Latin for “mercy”—is both personal and universal. Blue Capricorn channels therapy-driven insights and raw self-reflection into a song that’s contemplative rather than cathartic, choosing subtle hope over bombast. It’s a rare example of electronic music that foregrounds vulnerability without sacrificing sophistication. Each note, each sonic choice seems carefully placed to echo the delicate emotional architecture of the song, turning introspection into something almost cinematic.
Engineered and mixed by Alex Bhore, the track’s soundscape is layered and precise. Every spectral synth, pulse, and echo finds its own space, creating a three-dimensional listening experience that rewards repeated plays. For fans of Shlohmo, Clams Casino, or Nosaj Thing, “MISERICORDIA” hits familiar territory but refuses to stay there, blending downtempo beats with experimental textures and confessional lyricism. It’s a quietly powerful statement: Blue Capricorn isn’t just making electronic music—he’s charting the inner topography of the human heart.
“This song is a letter to my current self from the best version of myself,” Blue Capricon comments on the release.
