Hailing from the depths of rural Lincolnshire, UK, the experimental Electro-Shoegaze collective, made up of Mark Merrifield (Guitar, vox and things) and Jimmy Osborne (Processed guitars and fx), with Holly Hall (bass), Chris Lody (Keys, synths and beats), and Esme Dodsworth (Effected vocals), drops a video for the explorative, dance-inducing Madchester-tinged new track, “FYN”,
An invocation for guidance and wisdom, “FYN” rolls out on the swaying shaker-accented groove of a shuffling broken beat pattern, stacked with sinuous rubbery bass pulses and portal-opening resonant FXs, to ground wistful, lost, solemn male vocals, layered with nostalgic, warm shivering keyboard spirals and high piercing molten guitar reverberations, while gently radiating airy female cries surround, strengthen, and heal, into an emergence of primal male echoes.
Symbolic, paired visuals begin with a man in a tan horse mask walking up a hill toward the sun. There is a waist-high wall at the apex, and the view is of a coastal body of water. Bright rays pierce a layer of high, thin, feathery clouds to create a relaxed, joyous vibe. Then a black-headed horseman arrives and causes double vision and shadows. When the two headspaces merge, the perception turns blurry, exaggerated, and inverted, like a bad acid trip. Be sure to stick around for the ending for some comedic relief.
On the flip, eerie droning and distorted female vocals stutter, echo, and radiate outward in ghostly ephemeral rings before, a smooth high pitched siren-esque stream soars and then falls loudly, breaking the vibrant dub-wise hypnosis of a taunt, sonorous, elastic bass line and repetitive tinny breakbeats unto a transformative ending, where trumpeting jarring resonances slowly fade into a far away pinpoint amidst aerial effects and buzzing mists.
