Coming proper out of Baltimore within the USA is Icarus Phoenix, and right now the band have revealed their extremely dreamy new single, “Portray”.
A sonically-charged dream-pop sensation.
Talking concerning the six-minute observe the lead vocalist Drew mentions – “I wrote a tune about my mom’s life. It is about ignorance and understanding. Understanding that your mother and father got here from wrestle, grief and tragedy. Understanding that the individuals who raised you have been damaged by life and that they have been in all probability doing their finest.”
Now in relation to dream-pop typically bands unintentionally straddle into the realms of shoegaze and experimental dark-pop, however what now we have with the brand new lower is a observe that’s unapologetically sensational. The vocals are sitting on the darker facet of the road with the contrasting guitars and digital sounds balancing it off, considerably just like how The Smiths used to create their music.
The entire observe is atmospherically good with myself feeling hooked on it primarily right down to the jangly post-punk revival-sounding guitar that the likes of Interpol and Bloc Get together have been identified for.
If you happen to like this observe then the band have a full-length album due out in August of this 12 months, so you’ll want to comply with them for extra updates!
