Fortitude Valley Drop Video (Right There With You)

I was completely hit in the face by this brand new Fortitude Valley track, and I’m assuming you’ll be right in the same place if you just turn the knob to the right a bit. The UK outfit have some similarities to acts like the Beths, though I really love how they’re not afraid to let the crash erupt in the background of the tune…especially when that cymbal bursts! Don’t get me wrong, the sweetness of the melody is spot on, especially when everything gets pulled away to have the vocals work atop a thundering drum roll. All of it is tethered to a thematic notion of how we’re all trying to maintain relationships, romantic and otherwise…then hitting with the challenges that arise in the fast-paced modern world. Look for their new LP, Part of the Problem, Baby, which drops via Specialist Subject on August 1st.
