An essential taster for the new Chris Mason album
Restless, ‘Fast and Furious’ is a heartbreaking thriller from
the ground up: the insistent pulse of the drums, the visceral growl of the guitars,
layered rolling hooks and Chris’s aching vocal. As Mason sings, “He’s coming
back for us” the song's wonderfully razored balancing act between hope and a
dark sense of fatalistic urgency is exposed. This is newgazer pop with an edge.
For a limited time the single comes bundled with a bonus track
taken from the upcoming
Restless album. 'Deer
in the Headlights' plays out like a slow loss with all the dark melancholy of
Mazzy Star and the loaded cavernous spaces of Bark Psychosis.
