There’s something intangibly amazing about the chaotic indie rock coming out of Foyer Red. Their music, in this case, “Pickles,” exists at the apex of indie punk, math rock, and sweetly-sung indie rock – midwestern twinkles, ebullient bass, and dueling vocal parts come together in a sort of perfectly-imperfect way. To put it bluntly, it’s weird and it’s truly one-of-a-kind… And that’s what makes it so amazing. About the song, they say:
“The lyrics are about depressive episodes trapping you in your own home, turning physical space into dungeon space. Everything feels stale; the air gets too warm but you can’t get up to fix it. You’re relying on external factors to make a difference in your world and there’s a sort of intersection of comfort and discomfort.”
P.S. ICYMI, you should also check out our previous features of the World of Warcraft-inspired “Slander” and woodwind-laced “Flipper.”
