Opening with eerie vocals that bring to mind Bowies \u2018Black Star\u2019, UK based band Fritch create a complex and layered soundscape in their new single \u2018We Lose Our Cool\u2019<\/a> which is due for release on the 1st October.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The first of a trio of singles leading up to their new album, \u2018We Lose Our Cool\u2019 is as unnerving as it is comforting, with the glossy piano at odds with the dissonant vocals.\u00a0<\/span>A song of two halves, \u2018We Lose Our Cool\u2019 builds through piano and synth textures to culminate in a shifting soundscape that feels close to resolution, leaving you with a sense of closure. \u00a0<\/span>Rippling synths create a fluid murmur throughout the track\u2019s ending as the vocals fade away, like haze being burned from a sunny day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>What begins as a warning of a love close to loss in the heat of an argument\u2019s cool-off, slowly weaves into new sets of textures.\u201d explains <\/span>Fritch<\/b>, who are able to perfectly capture the swell and ebb of emotion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the vocals have a slightly unnerving effect to the start of the song, \u2018We Lose Our Cool\u2019 is an intricate meshing together of sounds and feelings, that resolves to a sense of calm, highlighting the band\u2019s mastering of portraying emotions through song.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fritch<\/b> maintain their ability to create a sense of wonder and lush isolation with \u2018We Lose Our Cool\u2019 which follows on from their 2020 debut \u2018How\u2019s the View There\u2019.\u00a0<\/span>Born on a laptop in the United States and Vietnam, <\/span>Fritch<\/b> found a home in England and South Wales. An ever evolving collective, the band weaves together Dream Pop, Dark Wave, Post Punk and Shoegaze.\u00a0<\/span>Their debut album was released with Russia\u2019s Other Voices Records and UK label Rats on the Run<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>Their upcoming album, featuring \u2018We Lose Our Cool\u2019, is due to land November 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n
