Fierce Friend Paints Love and Chaos with "Blood Red Hills"

"Blood Red Hills" maintains a delightful indie feel as it brings a slow breakdown of love and trust.

Fierce Friend is the solo name of Brighton singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Alan Grice. The artist has issued numerous albums of experiential, multi-layered, atmospheric indie music under this name. The compositions are loaded with textures, experience and depth; it's rich, soulful and multi-textured with inventive arrangements. The band are also capable of switching from indie rock to shoegazer, from psych to electronic with ease. Their debut record, Lie that Comforts You, is a sharp and intelligent composition you can actually feel.

"Blood Red Hills" is an exciting indie-rock trip with songs that seem to please both the listeners and the senses.

Blood

Red Hills grasps for the darker, heavier sounds and explores the chaos of broken relationships, emotional tension with their dynamic music and incredible storytelling. Fierce Friend, make an incredible wall of noise; with broken guitars, furious beats and dynamics, combined with deafening multi-track harmonies, forming a terrifying, yet euphoric, claustrophobic. Beneath this catchy musical shell, there's a deeper story of love and trust sliding out of reach, all of which implies a deep emotional pull. The song keeps transforming; it's a tiring web of lift and claustrophobia and fills the album with shoegaze, psych-rock and alternative influences, so it's incredible, and I strongly recommend listening.
