New Music from an elusive The Bandit Semu emerges in the form of the dark and atmospheric The Furnace.
Featuring those again soulful vocals at the forefront, The Furnace is notably more delicate and thoughtful than the former track, and sets a sultry, contemplative mood, with its evocative electric guitar solo, and deeply poignant lyrics reflecting on war.
Featuring an accompanying video shot in black and white but with striking contrasting shots of fire, The Furnace marks a mellow but impassioned ode to the songwriting depths of The Bandit Semu, and provides a deeply hypnotic and rather timeless, organic listen, which is refreshingly meaningful and compelling as it rolls along.
Diverse as ever, the song’s mid-section sees The Bandit Semu shift towards a grittier rap flow than melody, and the music mildly intensifies to underline this. Meanwhile the beat goes on, an enchanting groove that’s naturally peaceful but provocative in light of these images and sentiments presented by our leading protagonist.
An easy highlight from the catalogue of The Bandit Semu so far, an unconfined take on modern music, genuine and loaded with powerful metaphors – The Furnace is thought-provoking, hopeful and inspiring, but heartbroken at its core, and everything from the vocal delivery to the lyrics and the supporting music stylishly underlines that fusion of qualities.
