WARFIELD, the solo project of Justin Warfield, lyricist and frontman of Goth Rock luminaries She Wants Revenge, has unveiled his new single “Fades“, alongside a music video.
The song features on the upcoming EP, Deathrock Devotionals Vol II. Grab it here.
“‘Fades’ is a fun one,” WARFIELD founder Justin Warfield promises. The track rides a pounding bass and drum rhythm, and is possibly the most electrifying of all WARFIELD’s singles to date – that chorus might feel understated, but it’s gonna blow your ears out.
Speaking about it, Justin says:
“‘Fades’ started its life in another form. Then underwent a rewrite and makeover from the ground up. Lyrically and melodically, it was always the same: a bit of a stream of consciousness both following a loose narrative around an individual, as well as exploring some larger themes about impermanence.”
It was WARFIELD bandmate Thomas Froggatt who came up with the bass line that throbs around the vocal – with that in place, Justin continues, “The synths and guitar fell into place. The bridge came out of nowhere, and honestly caught me by surprise.
“Sometimes it’s the little things that come from out of the ether which help make something exciting, original, or give you a spark, because once that was in place, I started playing the chorus guitar, and then everything just gelled together”
And that includes that certain “something about the synth sound… that reminded me of Suicide and Alan Vega, hence the nod and homage in the yelps and howls.”
