London trio Fassine share new dream pop single 'Magpie'

London alt-pop three piece Fassine have released ‘Magpie’, the stand-out track from forthcoming LP FORGE, out March 27.

‘Magpie’ creates an alluring and glittering soundscape by starting with an exotic, mesmerising beat which is promptly merged with Laurie Langan weaving a sleek, catchy synth line around Sarah Palmer’s refined and dreamlike vocal. All building towards an otherworldly chorus. It's the ideal soundtrack to the white, fluffy clouds and bright blue skies that grace the upcoming new album cover. Listen below.

Speaking of the track, Palmer said: “It’s about a Magpie-type lover and all that comes with it, luring us into the hope of a beautiful relationship. It’s as close as we could get to writing a pop song on this album!”

Fassine’s third album FORGE, and first on Trapped Animal Records & Cargo Records, is a tribute to the unassuming heroes on the fringes of society. New single ‘Bloom’, is a response to the obsession of perceived beauty in perfection. Addressing this disconnect, the band asks if something is more beautiful when it is broken. 'Bloom' flips violently between states, from the tranquil verse, where Sarah Palmer’s sweet, manicured vocal is backed by just a propulsive bass, to the apocalyptic chorus of crashing drums and ear-bleeding synths. FORGE is bolder than ever, elevating the London trio’s distinctive take on electronic music with heavier, more aggressive instrumentation ‘FORGE’ literally means to ‘create something strong and enduring’. And with this album, Fassine have embodied the grit and grime of their personal heroes to weld into existence an industrial and hard-hitting piece of craftsmanship.

FORGE:

01. Forge 02. Limbs 03. Magpie 04. Perfectly Planned 05. Migraine 06. Everyone Is Guilty To Me 07. Max 08. Bloom 09. Hellsto (The Sweetness Came For Us)

FORGE is out March 27.

London trio Fassine wage war with cinematic alt-pop single 'Limbs' 

Cinematic pop creators Fassine return with ‘Limbs’, a typically dramatic and chaotic single that sees the London trio chart heavier, more aggressive waters. ‘Limbs’ is replete with punishing, reverberating guitars, war cry howls and thunderous drums. Of the track, Fassine say: “’Limbs’ is the warfare waged over someone else’s well-being. The silence of the middle while all around are screaming. We try to create small vignettes of people’s lives, their flaws, their strengths, their beauty, their ugliness. We put ourselves in their world, look from their perspective and the songs are our own little plays. Every song we create is a different story tied together by people's consistent inconsistencies".
