Foolish Deep is back with a new set of singles that were part of a live session. The band is slowly releasing singles and just recently released “Looking For The Moon.” I immediately was enjoying the vibe on this song. The song, out of the gates, starts with a steady 4/4 beat, lush guitar chords and a syncopated bass line. I thought there was an ’80s type of aesthetic to the song but done in a more contemporary style.
The vocals are the focal point and Casper M-B nails the performance here. His vocals are inviting and he stays within a comfortable vocal range. The chorus in particular just blossoms with memorable melodies. There’s also a slightly haunting breakdown around the two-and-a- half minute mark which leads to a shredding guitar solo. The next song is entitled “Never On Her Feet” and the song has a similar vibe but the guitar are a little more striking. I was feeling the ’80s type of vibe again especially on the verse. The song soars at points where Casper M-B goes into falsetto and it feels like it’s sparkling. There’s also some more fantastic lead guitar. “One More Shot” is pretty straightforward in terms of structure and a little more subdued. The song revolves around some exceptional guitar melodies although there are moments that crescendo and blossom with lush reverb tails. The band does a cover of “Rule The World” and they do this song justice. I mentioned the band has an ’80s quality and this song felt right at home. The band goes all out on the ten-plus- minute epic “Stranger.” There’s more nostalgia on this song than I heard before. The song is warm and meditative. It has it all including longer instrumental sections where the band sort of jams and lets loose. They do end the song in an epic way but it ebbs and flows. The band has been prolific and these songs are testament to continued growth and talent. They paint a clear picture of what they are about and what’s on the horizon. I think these singles will appeal to a lot of people.
