Bursting with fuzz and melody, Faithless Town’s latest single, “These Things I Do,” offers a nostalgic journey into 90s indie rock. Expertly channelling the shoegaze and noise pop influences of bands like Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, and My Bloody Valentine, the song captures the raw and exhilarating energy of the band.
Unearthed from an old demo, frontman Gene Owens decided to breathe new life into the song with a fresh recording that balances modernity with its original charm. Gene’s vocals, coupled with Dan Dixon’s dynamic guitar and bass work, create a rich, immersive soundscape. The rhythm section, with Darren Dodd on drums and the layered backing vocals of Katy Person and Tom Bedlam, adds a depth and texture that transports listeners back to the heyday of 90s indie rock.
With its blend of nostalgic influences and contemporary flair, “These Things I Do” is a track that will resonate with fans of the genre and newcomers alike. Faithless Town not only pays homage to the indie rock classics but also demonstrates their ability to craft timeless music that feels both familiar and refreshingly new.
