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

Stream/buy below.

The titillating title track is now remixed by Martyn Ware, the musical maestro of
veteran synth pop act Heaven 17 formed in 1980 after Ware left The Human League.

I’m not a great fan of remixes. To my ears, if the original isn’t good,
the remix can’t save it. Also lots of remixes drown the original in
an overdone tangle of exaggerated production.

But (there’s always a but) what Ware did here is quite cool.

He turned the ambient dream-pop tune into an acid-house dancefloor
filler by adding spot-on bleeps, bass vibes and funky guitars. Simple and
subtle, but terrifically effective. And no, we still don’t need that fascist
groove thang.

Artists: FERAL FIVE
Who: Electro-punk dance music duo,
Kat and Drew Five , from London.

Debut Album: TRUTH IS THE NEW GOLD.
The album will be out (on limited edition vinyl, cd and digital)
on 10 February via ethical independent label Reckless Yes.

Info: Feral Five’s dazzling debut album is 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.

The duo use AI (Artificial Intelligence) vocals is an innovative tack taken
on this single and across the album. Working with AI technologists Birds
on Mars from Berlin their krach.ai tool was trained on Kat’s voice, giving
the Ferals an otherworldly ‘AI Kat’, acting alternately as instigator and
truth-teller.

New single: TRUTH IS THE NEW GOLD
The title track, following Golden Rule, shared last November.
It explores truth and trust, both between people, and of
information.

TUTV: Truth Is The New Gold is a kick back, de-stressing, mid-tempo ambient
tune with a heartening affect. 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. Score!
