FEARING – Complete Work On New LP “Destroyer”
California post-punk outfit FEARING follow their 2020 debut LP “Shadow” with their sophomore LP “Destroyer” set for release on Sept 29th. Pre-orders on all formats along with new single “I Was So Alive” now live HERE.
“Destroyer” sees the core trio fostering their sound by continuing to migrate towards the sonic realms that capture the fine equilibrium allying the somber, austere, the vigorous, and vibrant. A striking singular vision of abyssal maritime desolation, “Destroyer” showcases a more energetic side of the band with a stripped down three-piece lineup and an over more minimal sound. The album pushes and pulls the boundaries between dark and pop music with a much more urgent feel than their previous releases. As songs like ‘I Was So Alive’ race through dynamics and melodies in a way that feels snappy in contrast to the groups more familiar shoegaze-esque repetition, there are other tracks like, ‘Destroyer’, that reignites the subtle darkwave influence found in some of their earlier work.
Ever since their debut EP “A Life Of None” (2017), followed by their widely celebrated “Black Sand” EP (2018), FEARING have been procuring a constant flow of commendable releases. Through vigorous touring and live endeavors (having toured alongside the likes of Gatecreeper, She Wants Revenge, Soft Kill, Choir Boy, Narrow Head, and Death Bells, along with playing notable festivals as Substance, Home Sick, and Out From The Shadows), ever since the release of “Shadow”, FEARING have fastened themselves as one of the apex artists in today’s post-punk current.
“Destroyer” was recorded by the band, mixed by Chris King, and mastering by Dan Lowndes @ Resonance Sound.
