Words: Amelia Callister
Brighton band Fear Of Men have had something of a long hiatus since their last output back in 2016 with their second album 'Fall Forever'.
This week they have emerged with a new song, the darkly penetrating and hypnotic 'Into Strangeness', plus a visualizer they produced while self-isolating.
Frontperson Jessica Weiss said in a
statement about the song, that she had spent the last years “healing, shutting the door finally on elements that have been toxic and draining in life for too long. This song is an assertion of a voice, a cry of independence. As the lyrics state, I ‘spent a few years in tears, but now I’m steel’. It’s a song about the role of words in constructing the self. We create ourselves like books, and I’m ready to tell a different story.”
The band are donating their first week of sales via Bandcamp to The Audre Lorde Project, supporting LGBTQ+ People of Colour in the New York area. Buy here: https://fearofmen.bandcamp.com/
