Peaks! onthult debuutsingle Blackout

 

 

Hailing from Turin via London, Peaks! is een modern Alt Rock duo mixing killer riffs, fuzzy guitars en dizzy hooks. Ze brengen hun debuutsingle Blackout uit.

Waarom Blackout? De band: "Have you ever felt confused? Not recognizing the reality you're living in? Having that feeling that something's wrong, even if it looks right? That's what Blackout is about."

"We wanted the song to be full of energy, uptempo, but 'dizzy' at the same time. So we decided to record that lazy whispering voice in the verse and then let the chorus explode, just pumping up the vocal melody and guitars. As it progresses, the song becomes even more 'confused' and kinda 'drunk' by blending together guitar layers and vocals in the last chorus, we wanted the listener to feel that sensation of uncertainty and instability," vertelt de band verder.

"We recorded Blackout before what happened back in March and, somehow, we realized later how it also related so well with the current situation. The song is about a blurred memory, which is quite what we're living right now. We all have these blurred memories of 'how the world used to be' and, sadly, day by day we're kinda losing them by giving space to this 'new normality'. Blackout has energy, but it's also lazy. It has a sort of contradictory mood. That's why we think is the right picture of this moment."
