If nostalgia means “a pain from an old wound,” the new release from Soft Fangs pretty much has that interpretation covered. “The Air,” the newest single to come from the Brooklyn-based band a.k.a John Lutkevich, is what some might call delicate but potent. Noisy guitars and thrashing drums on this track evoke the heaviness of what inspired his new album– revisiting his childhood home, and the memories it contains. But the music always makes way for Lutkevich’s airy, fragile vocals. Both parts eerie and provoking, after 3 and a half minutes it just… ends. Kind of like childhood itself.

The single is streaming free at Consequence of Sound, but you can listen to it here:

Soft Fangs’ debut LP, The Light, will be released on March 18th, 2016 on Disposable America & Exploding In Sound Records
