“Fade Away” by Macatier will be reminiscent of The Cure in the vocals and the bass line in the best way. That being a pitch perfect evocation of melancholia and a strong and steady low end pulse to push the song. The song is about a relationship that is probably over but not yet “officially,” just on its last legs with neither party wanting to pull the plug but let things linger until it dissolves of its own inertia after each person is harmed a little in the holding on too long. What makes the song is some use of reverse delay in the guitar so that the song’s melodic structure curves back on itself the way one’s feelings often can which can be a pleasant thing or in the case of this song, reinforcing all the things that keep you trapped rather than moving onward even if it hurts to do so. And yet the effect really gets stuck in your head as does the song’s irresistible melody. Listen to “Fade Away” on Spotify and follow Macatier at the links below.
