LISTEN: No Age - "Fever Dreaming"


MP3: No Age - "Fever Dreaming"

It's swelling within the confines of your skin. You feel the throb, and you feel the heat covering your body in a warm sweat. Everything seems to be in order one moment, and in the next, it all starts to unravel; every little noise and every little sound makes it seem as though the world is crumbling and you're the next one to fall apart. In a delirium, it's all distorted -- wild but eventually something rather beautiful.

With a bit a fuzz and a distorted chord progression that hits like a hammer, "Fever Dreaming" moves fast and sounds as though it's about to self-destruct. It's precise and yet wholly rambunctious, boiling over with a mass of punk energy. A distorted wail slices through the verses with ease, like a sonic whip keeping the song in line. It frays and pulls itself together, again, until it finally casts itself off into the final moments of euphoric haze, a sonic texture of ambient/shoegaze.

BUY: "Fever Dreaming" is from No Age's excellent new record, Everything In Between, out now on Sub Pop. Pick it up on iTunes, here on Amazon MP3, here on CD, or here on vinyl.
