Faerie’s “re: invite to the moon” is an otherworldly tune, perfect for the modern day dreamer.
Partnered with Spanish composer VelviV, Faerie’s latest single is inviting yet melancholic, and has a distinctive, addictive quality. If there were ballrooms on Mars, this would be the song echoing through its halls.
Kicking off with a drum groove and an elegant guitar part, the track is set up with an effective yet minimalistic vibe. There are times when a track beginning with this kind of energy can be boring, and there are times when it is absolutely necessary to the overall aura of the song. This track falls beautifully under the latter. Faerie enters effortlessly soon after, flaunting angelic vocals and hazy, imaginative lyrics.
Bedroom pop is the genre that comes to mind as the tune builds, and rather than becoming loud, it takes advantage of creative, slightly muffled sounds. Listeners are momentarily entranced by a swell, and are met with fitting lyrics: “It feels so good to fly.”
Flying through “re: invite to the moon” is futuristic and fun, and Faerie is sure to gain substantial momentum as a force in the indie and bedroom pop scenes.
