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.
