Fauxtrot embrace the beginning of something new on debut single
If you haven’t heard of Fauxtrot today is the perfect day to get familiar. This Philly-based progressive rock band has dropped the music video for their debut single, “Retrace Embrace,” today. We aren’t much on visuals here at AsterTracks but we know songs, and this is a good one.
Within just ten seconds of their first track Fauxtrot demonstrates that they are not here to play around. The intro to this one let’s everything breathe, first showing off some riffs, leading into a drum fill until the vocalist finally kicks in. They roll in really smooth too, this first verse is quite lovely. The band spends the entire first verse showing themselves off as a unit as opposed to parts moving independently. Everything is really given the chance to shine in unison and it makes for a great listening experience.
Later the track absolutely changes on a dime with some bouncier, more fun sonics and a lot of attitude lyrically. When they get to the song’s chorus they slow everything down, then just like the way they introduced themselves as members, slowly ramp back up until they naturally arrive back at that chorus. In a way it makes this feel like a song with an intro track, but either way it all really works.
If I were to give any sort of criticism I would say that there’s something about the production that feels a little strange to me, I can’t quite tell what it is, but something feels off volume. Other than that this in no way feels like a band’s first song. There is real experience amongst these musicians, and they bring a lot out of each other. I personally am excited to hear more from this project.
