Industrial noise pop trio Tayne are joined by a member their labelmates in British mathcore outfit Rolo Tomassi on their latest single, “Fear“. Tayne vocalist Matt Sutton had the following to say of this latest track, which boasts contributions from Rolo Tomassi vocalist/keyboardist, etc. James Spence:
“Sonically speaking, it’s a track that purely felt like we were serving the song. ‘Fear’ is self-explanatory. It deals with being afraid, letting fear dominate our choices in life, being consumed by it, or letting it win.”
Spence added:
“After my first time seeing and feeling the energy of Tayne’s live show, I was immediately a fan. The band combines what I love about heavy and electronic music with visceral, heavy beat driven songs that are still laden with hooks. I was thrilled to be asked to be a part of this track.”
The below music video for the track is the conclusion of a trilogy of videos that have recounted Sutton‘s father’s coming out story and the trials and tribulations that presented. That trilogy began with “Down” in September and continued last month with “In This Trend“.
Speaking of reaching the end of the Leif Johnson-directed series, Sutton added:
“Act 3 is simple and to the point: empowerment, acceptance and celebration. ‘Fear’ is such a Big Question song; it pokes the beast but never offers a resolution. We just wanted people to embrace themselves; to ‘be free’ as Gaga says and be strong and powerful with no fucks given to anyone.
Thematically, I always thought this song could be interpreted as a negative one, so I’m really glad the video delivers a more positive answer to the hard question of the track. In this case and very much in my Dad’s case, ‘No,’ we won’t be consumed by ‘Fear.’”
Tayne‘s debut album “Love” will be released on January 31st through Inside Job/MNRK.
