Chaotic folk-punk moving into psychedelic dream pop – the gritty guitar sound, the smoother alternative flair, the colourful structure and storytelling with a twist of darkness. Original melodies and stories bring through an indie freedom grounded by a brilliant hook, as Brighton duo FATECRIMES blend genres with pure artistic commitment, for their latest single SUMMER THUNDER.
Unconfined by genre, SUMMER THUNDER presents with an instrumental fullness that seems to meander from that alt-folk angle to something almost progressive metal-like at its peak. All the while, these intimate and haunting paired vocals weave an extensive lyrical journey that fascinates, with poetry and personal reflections carefully united, and always we resolve for the striking imagery and clear energetic rise of a faultless, anthemic chorus.
Even with its vibrancy and passion during that hook, the single maintains this alternative angle throughout, and the band are both captivating and impressive for this quality – something original, but interesting and entertaining enough to hold your attention throughout. There’s hopeful wonder in the words and the resounding chorus, and that feeling lingers after listening.
