SINGLE REVIEW: Modern Neutrals - Blue

Formed in Blackwood, South Wales, Modern Neutrals deliver a powerful and immersive experience with their track 'Blue'. The song opens with a captivating introduction that builds anticipation, drawing listeners in with its haunting and hypnotic atmosphere. The grand, rich vocals permeate deeply, creating a profound emotional connection.

The dynamic use of synths and a resonant drum beat adds depth to the track, pulling you into its complex soundscape. 'Blue' expertly blends the sparse desolation of post-rock with chaotic noise rock textures, creating a unique fusion of ambient sounds and explosive, gritty elements. The result is a high-octane, raw sonic journey.

James’ bold and distinctive voice, combined with an intriguing mix of blues-inspired guitars and shape-shifting vocal styles, often veering towards a metal-esque quality, makes 'Blue' an engaging listen. The track’s creative, dynamic range offers a compelling blend of ambience and intensity, highlighting Modern Neutrals' ability to fuse different genres into a powerful musical statement.
