Felix Pallas bring the fire with the rip-roaring alt pop of "Similarities"
Belgium based four-piece Felix Pallas display their penchant for left-field production and strong pop melodies on new single "Similarities".
The third single from the band and their first release since their 2016 debuts "Curse" and "Rakata", is every bit as impressive as the first murmurings of their self-described "alien synth pop". Warped and distorted vocal samples lace the track, which is lead by a sugary sweet falsetto vocal courtesy of frontman Simon Nuytten.

Nuytten is joined by his brother Pieter-Jan and their best friends Xavier Gosselin and Ziggy Van Wallendael, who through a series of local competitions found themselves writing songs, busking, playing their first live shows and winning studio time together.
"Similarities" is the first of a new sets of tracks the band have been working on while they've steadily found themselves bubbling up on the live circuit, having recently played a headline show at the historic Ancienne Belgique in the heart of Brussels.
Inspired by experimental indie, but with a keen ear and love for traditional pop songwriting, the band are straddling genres and breaking boundaries.
