SINGLE REVIEW: FiiZY - Ten People and Trees
FiiZY, a shoegaze quartet formed in August 2023, blends ambient soundscapes with trip-hop’s polished percussion, the contrasting tones of alternative rock, and a love for the “wall of sound” aesthetic. Their latest track, 'Ten People and Trees', encapsulates their rich, textured approach, delivering an experience that feels introspective yet expansive.
The song begins with a low-tempo, ambient introduction, immediately drawing you in with its hazy, dreamlike quality. Ethereal vocals linger beneath the instrumentation, adding a sense of mystery, while a thick, fuzzy bassline lays a solid foundation. As the track progresses, it builds into a chaotic explosion of raging guitars and noise-rock textures, creating a dramatic, enthralling shift in energy.
What stands out most is how the track oscillates between these extremes. Just as the intensity reaches its peak, it retreats back into a softer, more reflective tone, balancing its raw power with an almost meditative calm. The layering is rich, the transitions seamless, and the result is a captivating blend of shoegaze haze and dynamic contrasts.
'Ten People and Trees' showcases FiiZY’s ability to create music that is both atmospheric and deeply engaging, solidifying their place as a rising force in modern shoegaze.
