Fierce Creatures

Artist- Fierce Creatures
Album- I Mostri Feroci
Label- Self-released


This debut EP is pretty exceptional for being just that – a debut effort. It has all the enthusiasm of kids not yet jaded by the music industry, kids who saved their best melodies for their debut. It’s quirky folk-pop with quick melodies. Opener “Satan is a Vampire” is anthemic in its vocal melodies; it reminds me of Funeral-era Arcade Fire. The female vocalist takes over on “The Great White” and the effect is delicate. Closer “The Brute and the Beast” is the undisputed standout – it starts off well enough before adopting a soft, spaghetti-western surf guitar riff. Wonderful debut.
