Feldspar single ‘Beautiful People’ out now!
"...for fans of epic and heartfelt indie."
- Gigwise
Feldspar release Beautiful People, their penultimate single as part of their Compass tour. Throughout Autumn the band have presented a single a month, which began with September’s Song Without A Chorus, followed by Cure For The Night.
Although the four songs don’t tell an overarching story, together they demonstrate the band’s concern with songs that explore different sides of the human condition: heartache, lust, mortality, and anger. Beautiful People is a meditation on mortality, wrestling with the inevitability of ageing and acceptance in an uplifting and introspective way, complemented with a divine guitar track.
You can stream the single via the band's SoundCloud page.
The video for their previous single, Cure For The Night, premiered on Shout4Music, and you can watch it now via the band's YouTube channel.
The first single in the series, Song Without A Chorus, premiered on Gigwise while the accompanying video premiered on Artrocker. You can stream and download the single for free via the band's SoundCloud page and watch the video on their YouTube channel.
Feldspar also took the time to do a pre-tour performance of Song Without A Chorus for the Croft Sessions which you can view now on YouTube.
Although Feldspar grew up listening to acts like Nick Cave, and indeed there is a tinge of that dark folk feel throughout their songs, Feldspar have given their influences a modern twist creating an achingly beautiful indie sound that sits easily alongside lyrical indie bands such as The National and Villagers.
The Compass tour has seen the band perform in the North and East, with South and West shows on the horizon where the band will present their powerful live show to audiences from around the UK. Their ambitious plan to release a single a month combined with their Compass tour is a glimpse into how far the band have come since their inception just over two years ago when Will Green, Ben Lloyd-Evans, Woody Feldwick, James Forster and Jonny Burgess first started performing together.
The band will play a single launch show headlining at Tamesis Dock in South London on 6th Novemberr, which will be the perfect chance to experience Feldspar’s impressive live performance which sets their melancholic songwriting against their engaging and lively stagecraft. Press passes are available by request.
Beautiful People is released via Green Tape Records. You can buy it digitally via iTunes.
