FEHM bite back at boredom on ‘Circadian Life’

Every weekday, DIY’s new music know-it-all Neu brings you one essential new release to get obsessed with. Today’s Neu Pick comes from FEHM.

Leeds group FEHM shed a blinding light on their hometown’s bubbling post-punk scene. Cut through with searing white heat, new single ‘Circadian Life’ is their strongest endorsement yet.

Meandering basslines are sliced apart by swoop after swoop of blown-out guitar, frontman Paul Riddle’s intense gothic vocal tugging things forward. Penned around “the struggle of life’s most monotonous tasks, how we’re all too busy doing the things we have to do instead of the things we want to do,” it finds FEHM seeking artistic solace in the exorcism of those frustrations. Linking up with the previously unveiled ‘Nullify’, it’s a fearsome stride forward for the three-piece.

FEHM’s ‘Circadian Life’ EP is due out this Friday 25th November via Art Is Hard Records. Sink into the gloom of its title track’s new, Kyle Macfadzean-directed video below, and pre-order the 12” here.
