There’s something for everyone from this Nottingham band, who are already establishing themselves at the top of the bill on the city’s club night scene.
Like Vega Bay in yesterday’s issue, Foule grab influences from many places.
Their most mature track, I’m in, is a prime example of that fact.
Another example from the new generation of psych bands using the classic broken chord picking pattern, laced with EHX Small Clone.
The hook of this track, a simple statement lyrically, ‘I’m in love’, laid over the sharp descent from the C#min7, accented by a tight hi-hat catches, flowing into a half-time chorus.
The hanging unresolved chords, touched with reverb with sinister aid from the decaying analog delay are also reminiscent of Abram Shook’s 2015 track, Vessel, for their raw live nature.
Foule’s new single, Finger Trap recently arrived in May and is an encouraging sign for the band in the future, listen to it below:
