Big Fear have released their debut EP ‘Career Day’, produced by Charlie Andrew (alt-J, Wolf Alice, David Gilmour).
The five-track collection showcases the rising trio’s blend of alt-pop and indie rock, featuring industrial synths and live instrumentation. The EP includes tracks ‘Culture Cannibal’, ‘Beautiful Hands’, ‘Money’, and ‘Mildew’.
“This EP is really a series of dialogues; each song has two figures moving the story forward- from the jailer of anxiety and the prisoner of the self in Mildew, the surgeon and the influencer in Money, to the fascist and the lover in Culture Cannibal,” says vocalist Alice Edwards. “Each pair represents an issue affecting contemporary culture, the mental health crisis British youth face, the onslaught of unattainable beauty standards and those who seek to profit from them, and the unending cycle of extremist politics throughout history. All issues that loom, and seem hopeless for an individual to face alone.”
