On first listening to FIERO’s new single ‘Coupe’, we were pretty speechless, but being that we’re a music blog, we thought it wouldn’t be any good to leave a blank space here and so here’s some of the thoughts that we managed to put together after the jaw-dropping awe ceased to impair us.
Similar to the lustrous shoegaze-pop sounds of The Naked and Famous, Space Above and Beach House, FIERO exposes the vulnerability of pure emotion in the clean-cut recording that blossoms against a backdrop of synth keys and restrained percussion. There’s a cosmic element to ‘Coupe’ which lifts the grounding rhythms into the airy realm that Kelsey Bulkin’s vocal inhabits.
Sharing their own insight into the song, FIERO say: “Coupe is about making the call, turning the keys in the ignition and trusting that the other person will come along for the ride”.
