Rising duo BIG FEAR share explosive single "Anger" from their forthcoming EP New Hire, encapsulating dynamic alt-pop stylings led by industrial-tinged synths and visceral live instrumentals.
Rooted in feminine rage and the tale of a woman forced to shed their identity in a relationship, the searing track channels a deeply personal, feminine fury with intense resonance. Reflecting on the emotional weight of forced reinvention in pursuit of desirability and the yearning for unattainable expectations in relationships, the track showcases vulnerability, honesty and theatricality in equal parts.
Fronted by the asexual, and endlessly expressive Alice Edwards alongside multi-instrumentalist Jack Wilkinson, BIG FEAR has shaped a sonic identity that explores contemporary culture with wit, rage and tenderness. Diving into the quiet spiral of rejection that follows forced changes and the mourning that comes with it, the whimsical offering is an alluring peek at the raw emotional narratives and haunting yet edgy soundscapes that await us on their upcoming EP, which is set to dissect mental health crises, societal pressures, and the cycles of cultural expectation with both unflinching honesty and cinematic flourish.
Having cemented their place as one of the UK's most noteworthy rising acts for their shimmering yet cutting musicality, BIG FEAR contines to craft thoughtful yet anthemic soundscapes that leave us wanting more.
