FIERO – Reunion

FIERO by Collin Erie

FIERO by Collin Erie

Slotting in perfectly amongst some of the wonderful female-led acts music has to offer in 2020 is FIERO – a duo comprised of Los Angeles-based Kelsey Bulkin and Nashville-based Joseph Bogan.

They have just released their new EP, ‘Reunion’ – a collection of four indietronica based songs. With their breezy vocals that glow with a vintage aesthetic, you feel wrapped in a warm musical blanket, that invigorates the ultimate euphoric and dream-pop state.

Speaking about the new EP, the band says,

“Everything in existence is one. this oneness has never been more clear than now with the cause and effect of individual actions affecting the whole. when you see more of life you realize everything eventually comes together or collides or collapses. all appearance of separation or division are temporary and are serving an eventual and inevitable reunion. the oneness cannot be divided; not in any real sense. these songs are sensitive and pulsing as the heart is as it journeys through the wilderness into that promised land. fiero means bold and i like to think of it as the abandon that comes when you have nothing left to lose and everything feels cheap except what’s in your heart.”

Sounds like: Shura, Anna Of The North, Say Lou Lou, Wet, Paperwhite, Scavenger Hunt, HAERTS, Prinze George, MS MR, Mr Little Jeans, Men I Trust

Paperwhite – Only Us

Paperwhite - Only Us

New York sibling duo Paperwhite return with dream pop number, ‘Only Us’.

It once again showcases their ability to put together a track full of catchy hooks, transcendent synths and soaring, spirited melodies.

“Whether it’s a global issue or a broken heart, we tend to look back with nostalgia on times that were simpler,” says the band about the song. “With change comes courage, so even with heavy lyrics, we wanted to add a little Paperwhite electricity into the mix. What better way to move forward than with a little spring in your step.”

The track is the third release off their forthcoming third EP.

Paperwhite – Get Away

Paperwhite

Paperwhite

Brooklyn’s brother-sister duo Paperwhite return from hibernation with flighty number, ‘Get Away’.

According to Katie Marshall, ‘Get Away’ is “the perfect song to start off our second round of releases. What feels so special about Get Away is that while it speaks of the power of freeing your mind, finding your escape, and getting away from it all, it’s inviting someone to join you”.

Taking more a futuristic tribal approach, ‘Get Away’ is a lush re-entrance for Paperwhite.

Those of you in Brooklyn can catch up with the band at The Knitting Factory on 10 January. Purchase tickets.
