We’ve had the pleasure of getting to know most of Autonomy before Drenge release their first EP on October 5th, and now we’ve got another cut to digest.
“Fades to Black cruises through a patchwork of criticisms of modern life,” the duo say of this one. “But it’s main thrust is if you kill off the environments that make a community what it is then eventually you’ll end up with a hollow shell. The offered solutions are only creating more problems.”
“I watch venues we’ve played in, spaces we’ve written and recorded in and places that inspire us get knocked down and turned into car parks and chain restaurants. But don’t worry, all of this is wrapped up in a 3 minute crowd-pleasing Britpop ditty. Music can change the world.”
Drenge spent time with producer Ross Orton in Sheffield as they worked on new material in the wake of 2015’s Undertow LP.
