After their last powerhouse album OP, Fomies are back — harder, stronger and faster than ever. Leading singles ‘The Onion Man’ and ‘Colossus II’ will elevate them to the big stages.
Like a hurricane, Fomies’ new album sweeps over the musical world, leaving behind a transformed soundscape. The quintet offers us 12 titles imbued with their characteristic generosity. From the first notes of “The Onion Man”, a concentrate of raw energy and emotion, Fomies lays the foundations of an album of epic proportions.
The listener then embarks on a frantic ride through an otherworldly triptych “Colossus I, II and III”, a real explosion of sound that keeps us in suspense. After this surge of energy, “Pause Cigarette” offers a welcome moment of respite with its kraut-shoegaze accents. Fomies then immediately throws us in the deep end with “Neon Gloom”, a powerful and incisive song that only asks to be listened to in the middle of the mosh pits of this summer.
And until the last title, “Upheaval”, Fomies transcend their last limits to deliver their best opus to date. If the term Liminality evokes the potential for transformation and renewal, it is undoubtedly that this album is an invitation to reinvent oneself, embrace change and free oneself from the shackles of the past. A powerful, bold and liberating album.
