Kreajours has released a sonic tribute to the 70s/80s new wave genre on December 27, 2023. โNEWWAVEโ is perfectly timed to symbolize new beginnings at the threshold of the new year.
Self-recorded and produced in Orlando, FL, this track pays tribute to the influential new wave era with a grunge punk sound infused with shoegaze and 90s lo-fi experimental music.
From the opening notes, โNEWWAVEโ immerses the listener in a distorted and gritty guitar riff, its fuzzy drive dispersed throughout the track, creating an immersive haze in the soundscape. The thumping drums ground the song with a bustling energy. The instrumental provides a solid foundation for the dreamy reverbed vocals to float seamlessly alongside.
The distorted and gritty guitar work and the dreamy vocals channel the spirit of experimentation characteristic of the genre. โNEWWAVEโ is a melting pot of influences, with echoes of My Bloody Valentine, Radiohead, Sonic Youth, Jack White, Tame Impala, R.E.M., and Blink-182. Kreajours skillfully weaves these influences into their musical persona to showcase their take on the tribute.
This immersive experience owes much to the four members of Kreajours: Campfire (band leader, vocals, guitar, drums), London Boy (vocals, guitar, bass), Seany Soundscapes (synthesizers), and Parentheses (vocals, guitar, bass).
The band is considering taking their music upstage in Orlando and Chicago. Kreajours live performance is undoubtedly something to look forward to. Mark your calendars for the live dates dropping, and stay tuned for what Kreajours brings to the table in 2024.
