Atmospheric from the outset, ambient rock guitars and the live crash of drums creating an immersive and dreamy arena of sound – FM Rodeo deliver a lyrically enticing indie chamber, with the hypnotic new single INHALE.
Easy-going vocals, softly raspy and distinct, lead us through a series of short lines that intrigue, as we build unknowingly towards the sheer power of a distorted and anthemic hook.
INHALE feels like an alt-rock offering from a simpler time, those ethereal electric guitar riffs and the surrounding static blending beautifully with the vocal’s mysterious outline of reflections, before the energy switches gears immensely for the drop to the hook.
Rock fans who long for the embrace and artistry of the early 2000s, the unexpected writing, the passionate explosion of unity following a structure loaded with effective contrasting between moments, will almost certainly revel in the simple yet striking arrangement of this release. FM Rodeo continue to prove themselves a humble and purposeful act, devoted to the sentiments at hand, but also to the mood they promise to embrace their audience with – that awareness is key, and allows the rightfully meditative escapism of INHALE to really connect.
An addictively evocative new track, from a band with a welcomed sense of pure expression and oneness about the music they create. INHALE is a personal favourite from this year so far, a timeless gem that brings everything from the memorable riff to the gritty contemplations to the outright euphoric chorus. Well worth a few streams this summer.
