Fever High's demons lose their power on "Just A Ghost"
You may know Brooklyn's Fever High from their bizarre yet incredible collaboration with Jeff Goldblum. Rest assured, this dynamic duo have plenty in the tank as they power into their 2019 release schedule.
Genre-wise, Fever High oscillate on their axis between dance-pop and post-punk, embodying key elements found across that broad spectrum of sound. New single "Just A Ghost", taken from the pair's forthcoming Avec You EP, is a pleasingly simple strand of synth-pop, reminiscent of outfits like La Roux or The Ting Tings. Older influences shine through in the shameless funk of the track's bassline, whilst its chant-like vocals hark to envelope-pushing female artists such as Blondie and L7.
"'Just a Ghost' is about the frights of bumping into an ex – a haunting figure that can pop up at any moment stirring up all the hurt and pain all over again," explains Fever High guitarist and singer Anna Nordeen. "At first you try to dodge the ghost, but one day you face it and find that you've grown. That it no longer possesses the ability to hurt you anymore."
