New Jersey indie-rock pioneers The Feelies are celebrating their 40th anniversary with the release of In Between, their first album of all new material in over six years.
Last Splash has been seen as one of alternative rock's "most enduring masterpieces", as well as indie rock, noise pop and "effervescent" pop rock. Originally formed as a side project for Pixies bassist Kim Deal, The Breeders became her primary outlet.
Incorporating a variety of genres, the album has been described as an amalgamation of indie rock and alternative R&B, with elements of funk, jazz, and psychedelia.
The album, released in November 2022, blends folktronica with elements of art pop, indietronica, and alternative R&B. It's a journey through grief, regret, and loneliness, as the ghost witnesses his family and life continuing without him.
Sonically, the album blends trip hop, electronica, alternative, techno, and indie, drawing inspiration from artists like MF Doom, Massive Attack, and The Knife.
The album blends elements of indie rock, electronic, and experimental pop, showcasing the band's signature complex rhythms, sharp lyricism, and dynamic vocal performances by frontman Jonathan Higgs
