'Never able' is the first single off of Feed Me To The Waves's new full length 'Apart'. Out on dunk!records November 18th, 2022.
When this Swedish quartet began the writing process for the followup to their well-received sophomore album Intill in late 2019, their intention was to engage in a sonic exploration of the difficult duality of balancing private triumphs and public tribulations.
It is a conflict that many of us face: how do we continue to smile while around us it feels like the world is spiraling, and should we feel guilty about clearing this pathway for ourselves? That alone would have supplied a compelling narrative, but less than three years later, in the wake of a global pandemic and the invasion of Ukraine, that question has taken on complex layers that no one could have predicted, and so the scope of Apart grew dramatically wider for each member.
The album’s title itself is a nod to the contrasting natures of these two successive releases. “Intill” is the Swedish word for “close,” and as such "Apart" represents the chasms that have emerged in the time since fans last heard from them. These separations are both figurative and literal, encompassing the polarity of life as we knew it then and know it now, as well as the ways in which collaboration transitioned from in person to remote.
The resulting record paints a striking portrait of the intricacies of the modern psyche, probing into the vast gray area and defiantly splashing its walls with color and conquering its void with sound.

BRUIT fait partie de ces groupes qui se découvrent surtout en live.
Une claque de tous les instants, à chaque mesure.
Du son des cordes magnifiques à la guitare qui nous enrobe, le voyage est exceptionnel et en vaut la chandelle.
Merci encore 🙏 kevinoudard
