feederweb.com/ "Gamblers at a roulette table looking to double their money traditionally face the choice of putting it all on black or red. And on Black / Red, their landmark 12th album, Feeder also go for a high-stakes double: 18 tracks, two âdiscsâ and one raised middle finger to todayâs supposedly TikTok-ravaged short attention spans.
Luckily, if thereâs any band that could be described as a sure thing, itâs probably Feeder. Thereâs barely been a misstep across those dozen records and while this trilogy-concluding follow-up to 2022âs excellent Torpedo is certainly ambitious, Grant Nicholas and Taka Hirose emerge with their high-rolling reputations enhanced.
The âBlackâ disc continues Torpedoâs hard-rocking renaissance, the tightly wound classic rock riffing of Playing With Fire and the expansive, cinematic landscape of ELF striking a charming juxtaposition with the irresistible pop rush of Hey You. âRedâ isnât quite as heavy, but itâs just as intense, stuffed with Feederâs â00s trademark: melody-drenched, emotive alternative-rock anthems such as Sleeping Dogs Lie, Unconditional and Here Comes The Hurricane.
Feeder are still more than capable of springing a surprise â lord alone knows what odds youâd have got on the poignant Soldiers Of Love sporting a bagpipes intro, 30 years after they first blasted out of South Wales. But as that song rails against a world 'When you feel nothing is real', youâll realise that â whether you have time to hear these songs all together or listen to them in splendid isolation â Black / Red is an authentic representation of a great band in full, long-distance flight.
And, if youâre looking for a band to keep it real in a world of fakes, you could do a lot worse than to put it all on Feeder."
