Fable Cry

Genre :Theatrical Rock

Bio : Theatrical Rock Band Fable Cry have released the official music video for their newest single, “Here Comes Trouble”, a rambunctious introduction to the antagonist of their upcoming concept rock opera. ‘Here Comes Trouble’ is the official “villain song” in a 1930s-era concept album full of vengeful vamps and vixens.What started in 2010 as a humble duo project between current frontman Zach Ferrin (vocals, guitar) and his sister (former member Kirstie Ferrin) has grown across the decade into a darker, fuller and more mature five-piece outfit showcasing the talents and passions of an eclectic group of musicians – Jo Cleary (violin, vocals), Scott Fernandez (bass), Andrew Core (drums), and Jillian LaFave (vocals, keys) – whose backgrounds range from pirate shanties to the folk sounds of downtown Nashville, from hard rock to heavy metal, and even a touch of modern classical. 

Track: Here Comes Trouble

Why We Like It: It’s a dramatic dark thrill of the refined meticulously crafted and invigorating sound Fable Cry do so well. With ominous string, deep bass rumbles and punchy rhythmic pulses the track builds superbly creating cinematic tension throughout. The chorus takes a breather from the sinister with a radiant almost heroic melody as the band tell their story through energetic instrumentation and production. In true Fable Cry manner the track ventures into a heavy soundscape as the song reaches its dynamic crescendo. With expressive vocals, carnival horror theatrics and a full bodied wall of sound, Fable Cry announce their return with another chilling goosebump-inducing gem.

About the track frontman Zach Ferrin said : “In the song, we’re introduced to Harold “The Diamond” Helsinger, who relishes in his dominion over his past partners in crime while dancing his way through celebrations of his own shining ego. They may think he’s been got, but he knows who’s really got who.”

Fur Echo

Genre : Indie 

Bio : Fur Echo is the musical project of East London-based singer songwriter Marcus Pike.Though its roots are planted firmly in indie rock, dream pop and post-Britpop, with melody as a guiding force, Fur Echo’s sound draws from an eclectic range of influences, taking the listener on a passionate journey through minimalist delay guitar, shimmering keys, downbeat acoustic refrains and jarring electronic beats.These varying shades of sound are set to be revealed over the course of 2020-21 in the ‘Dark Colours’ series of EPs. ‘Dark Colours’ is based loosely on a condition known as synesthesia, the phenomenon of seeing sound as colour. Each EP will explore a different colour theme, with the music orchestrated to reflect that colour and the mood it evokes

Track: Idle Threats

Why We Like It: It’s a kinetic indie number, rhythmically rich and laced in zesty ethereal guitar lines as Pike utilizes vibrant grooves and smooth melodies to create a lush ear worm. The track builds and unfolds beautifully as twinkling guitars and punchy drums interplay creating airy pockets of spacious scintillation. An indie coating envelopes the snappy drums and radiant bursts on guitar which provide a rich splattering of colour through the tracks elastic dynamics. With a 90’s alternative vibe blended between mellow melodies ‘Idle Threats’ is a well crafted satisfying listening experience.

Genre : Singer songwriter

Bio : Alexandra Savior has released her acoustic cover of ‘But You’, along with a video. Proceeds will go to The Loveland Foundation.The album version of ‘But You’ currently has more than 877K streams on Spotify alone

Track: But You Acoustic

Why We Like It: For this acoustic version, Alexandra Savior reworked the song on guitar with Mel Guerison, who is the violinist and producer. The violin seeps character into the track as it laments between soft melancholic guitar twinkles. Savior’s vocals coo over this airy sparse rendition with a nonchalant lulling quality. The track takes a mellow downcast tone as Savior showcases another superb and haunting way to enjoy this tune.

Track: Dawn Chorus

Why We Like It: It’s a shimmering kaleidoscopic slice of laid back shoegaze that melts and fizzes upon a pop sprinkled backdrop with psychedelic hues. With flashing effervescent soundscapes evaporating off glistening guitars and wonderful blasts of distortion the track creates a dazed fuzz-filled sound of bliss.
