UK Guitar Pop Trio FES Share Disorienting New Visual For “Sun Visor”
UK guitar-pop trio FES have shared their latest single “Sun Visor”, lifted from their upcoming debut album With Regards From Home due April 29th via Small Pond Records.
Commenting on the track, guitarist Pollyanna Holland-Wing says: “This song is about being afraid about what you might find out if you go looking for answers. The theme originated from me being scared to go to the doctors.”
Based between their two homes of Peterborough and Leeds, FES are completed by Pollyanna’s sibling Tom Holland-Wing on drums, and Matthew West on bass. Having formed in late 2016, the band quickly established a keen underground fanbase for themselves touring the UK with their high-energy stage show, slick tempo changes, and undeniable math-pop melodies.
“Originally the album started off as an EP to be released in 2020/21,” explains Pollyanna of the forthcoming record, “but as COVID hit we were forced to put that on hold. With so much time on our hands and gigging life on pause we decided to go BIG for our next release. We wrote new songs and tweaked the ones we had. The main themes of the album consist of dealing with death for the first time, self-reflection and mental health.”
Tapping into their melodic strengths, “Sun Visor” and its accompanying visual use playful time signatures and grungy undertones for an emo-pop hit.
