London‘s synth-dream-pop FERAL FIVE – Kat and Drew Five – released
their long-awaited debut LP TRUTH IS THE NEW GOLD last month.

“An evocative voyage through a Feraltropolis style future city, and an offering
of sonic elixir for heart, feet and mind. Leading us through secret spaces, changing
skies, personal truths and revelations, the Ferals glide seamlessly between bold
alt-pop, experimental electronica, and cinematic landscapes.”

Now, the Fives have an eye-catching video clip out for the album’s magnific title track.
A de-stressing, mid-tempo ambient tune with a heartening affect. Its smooth synth sparks, trance-inducing electro beats, combative guitars, and crystal vocals come all together in an easy-going and groovy way that creates a laidback feel for mind and soul.

Watch/listen.

12 October 2022

Artists: FERAL FIVE
Who: Electro-punk dance music duo – Kat and Drew Five – from London
with bite, fusing snarling guitars, sparkling synths, and ferocious beats.

New single: SILVER SKY

The first track from the long-awaited, forthcoming debut album, named
Truth Is The New Gold. Out on 10 February 2023 on limited vinyl, CD
and digital via ethical and indie label Reckless Yes

About the LP: “An album of true innovation, dazzling melodies, and boundary-defying themes. ‘Silver Sky’ introduces a sonic world of multi-layered songs and hook-laden grooves all making use of a unique palette of tools and instruments, both hyper-modern and ancient. From the AI vocals to live coded sounds, strings, and played quartz crystals,
to the skillfully interwoven electronics, synths, and guitars.”

Turn Up The Volume: I champion this explorative synth duo for some time now
as they made me always get up and shake my booty with their dancefloor anthems.

I also applaud every artist who has caring attention to threatening humankind issues.
But this brand new piece is quite a surprise, a formidable one. A more pensive, moody one.

Silver Sky is a glowing electro-pop reverie, scintillatingly constructed and orchestrated. Trancy, moony and yearning. Alison Goldfrapp‘s sensuous voice and tempting vibrancy
are not far away. A sassy stroke. One more thing, of course, you can sway your hips
here too, but in a more slow-mo chill-out way.

Tune in…
