FÄR - Salute (Consouling Sounds) 2017
8
FÄR is a two-piece experimental project hailing from Brakel, Belgium. Comprised by An-Sofie De Meyer (vocals, sampler) and Tim De Gieter (beats, live synths, production), FÄR are one of the most exciting bands you’ll hear for some time. Salute is raw, dark and trippy and organic, their modern sound palette gives their experimental pop a warm and fuzzy vibe, but by plumbing their emotional depths, the overall result reveals even more introspective layers in the duo’s songwriting. Songs like “Lethargy”, “Epicaricacy”, “Umbra” and “Last Straw” are going to be stuck in your head for days.
Rough around the edges, Salute is the sonic equivalent to being pricked by a rose’s thorn, it’s an ambitious and stylish effort, it’s addictive and their eclectic and modern sound will grow on you.
