New Haunts : Fight/Flight - CD
Ref: 22453
New Haunts' second album Fight/Flight takes its foundations from her debut and pushes them up a notch, ranging from the infectious EBM-inspired Thrill and the melancholic, ice-cold synths of Cleanse, to the funereal ambience of Disown. With elements of darkwave, goth, post-punk, synthpop, and industrial, she uses her distinctively arresting vocal and a hypnotic rush of synth-laden darkwave to contrast the jarring with the serene. A solo artist based in Bristol UK, Alice Sheridan has been releasing music as New Haunts since 2017, and has drawn comparisons to artists such as Bjork, Anne Clarke, and Zola Jesus. With her 2018 debut album Worlds Left Behind reissued on vinyl via Young & Cold Records in 2020, she released Fight/Flight on Vital Breath Records the same year, after the success of its single Thrill. She has supported bands such as Kaelan Mikla, Whispering Sons, and Double Echo, and is currently planning a European tour for 2021. "Fight/Flight is equipped with an incredible depth that you can easily spend hours, days or even weeks dealing with the tracks to capture all the complexity... New Haunts aka Alice Sheridan is in a class of her own. One of a kind" - Dark Life Experience "Alice can write a club hit like Thrill and the glacial minimal track Disown, and they work perfectly on the same album. One of my albums of the year" - Kodak Ghosts Run Amok "English darkwave with outstanding vocals by Alice Sheridan... Powerful transitions and soulful delivery. Heartbreaking delivery of story weaving lyrics" - Sounds & Shadows TRACKLISTING 1. Retina 2. Cleanse 3. Disown 4. Rest Of Days 5. Thrill 6. Elixir 7. Fight/Flight 8. Nature/Nurture 9.
