LONDON, UKIf this didn’t hit your tastebuds in 2023, then 2024 is where you’ll find your new musical addiction. Allow your auricles to enter and absorb the futuristic, dark electro pop extravaganza released by artists and producers FHUR and Ōkubi on their collaboration ’Tricep’. At 0:01 seconds, your cerebral is pulled into a choppy, synth-heavy astral dystopia, and a zing of focus energetically shoots through the body when FHUR lays her ominous vocals down. She pushes out a decadently breathy tone and emanates a sweet mystery, oozing a desire for complete submission and surrendering to a craving for love that leaves her empty and aggressive. There is a sonical appetite for adventure on Tricep, and as the dopamine hit reaches an all-time high, it plummets straight back down like a meteor heading to earth. Behind the stimulating layers is a deep, dark tune that exposes the bitter side of a once-believed love story. “Tricep was produced remotely with Ōkubi and me bouncing ideas back and forth. The lyrics for the chorus came to me immediately (I’ve been stocking up stomach ache pills since I met you), just pure anger for what I was going through at that time.” - FHUR Tricep is the second single off FHUR’s sophomore EP, and it revels in all the wonderful aspects electronic music provides, from the fade-ins and creeping bass buildup to the upbeat tempo and the ultimate climax that pierces the prefrontal cortex. It’s delivered with songwriting simplicity that allows listeners to resonate in their own emotional way. Ōkubi's skillful blend of tape-infused synth elements adds to the moody soundscapes; the track navigates between the realms of a love and hate song. “Tricep started as Ōkubi’s sonic experimentation with tape-processed sounds while still keeping the epicness of his sound design. This epic idea finds contrast and balance with the harsh pop chorus, which is beat-driven and whose lyrics accentuate the caustic feeling. Tricep became a perfect example of left-field pop, where sound, vocals, and theme go hand in hand to create imagery more than just a song.” - FHUR When you add Tricep to your playlist, go ahead and add FHUR’s latest release ‘Cortisone’ and Okubi’s recent single ‘Shattered Tides’ to the playlist as well.
