Fear of Men are a newly formed group from Brighton / London who to date have released just four tracks via a demo tape (which unfortunately for rabid collectors like myself is already sold out - see Sex is Disgusting). Thankfully though, we can listen to the songs via the four pieces Bandcamp.
Contrary to the name, rather than put the fear of God into you, their four distinctly home-made lo-fi demos are more than likely to lure you to a fuzz-pop induced dreamy dance. Shimmery and jangly guitar riffs combine blissfully with catchy melodies and beautiful, ethereal vocals. As exhibited perfectly on free give-away "Phantom Limb".
"Church Words" starts as a more melancholy affair, but even here with the lyrics "I've always been afraid to die" the group can't resist bringing an irresistible and catchy chorus guaranteed to make the sombre themes wash over you. I'm sure this won't be the last of Fear of Men on this blog. Listen below:
