On their second record, FEWS (unnecessarily capitalised!) are understated and restrained. FEWS are a Swedish band, but made their first record based in the UK and, now, their second based in the US. Unsurprisingly, the influences of their various relocations can be heard on Into Red. At its core, this is post-punk, but it has leanings towards both American college shoegaze, as well as European krautrock and psychedelia. There are, admittedly, tracks that follow Fugazi’s archetypal post-punk template (e.g., ‘More Than Ever’, ‘Anything Else’), but not many. More often than not, propulsion is curbed in favour of delicacy, and the songs are gestated carefully over their runtime. My favourite track here is the dreamy, slow-build of ‘97’, in which soft melancholic nostalgia occasionally breaks into At the Drive-In style crescendos. It’s a good example of the considered minimalism deployed on the majority of this consistently interesting record.
