‘Sirens’ doesn’t settle into the background of Misplaced Foxes’ sophomore LP—it crashes via it with the burden of unresolved emotion clawing on the bones of To Get Used to You Gone, an emotionally turbulent tour de power that holds no prisoners within the identify of candour.
Duncan Therrell, the artistic power behind Misplaced Foxes, has by no means performed by the rulebook, and in his newest launch, he doesn’t simply ignore conference—he grinds it into the filth beneath syncopated beats that rip via the combo like a stay wire.
Opening with an alternate slant on Slowdive’s cuttingly angular guitars, the monitor teeters on the sting of familiarity earlier than wreaking havoc on the rhythmic pulses. From there, Sirens swells right into a new-wave synth anthem, its oscillating layers stacked with sufficient textural depth to drag listeners beneath, all whereas Therrell’s indie-pop-adjacent vocal strains bleed melancholy over the frenetic percussion.
Extra of an avant-gardist than an assimilator, Misplaced Foxes chips away at expectation with each unflinchingly unfeigned observe. Then, the hypersonic center eight obliterates all restraint, leaving solely rubble in its wake and the mark of a real innovator.
Sirens is now out there to stream on all main platforms, together with Spotify.
