Nights

On his highly anticipated return Nights, Feux highlights the range of his artistry, clouding the listener in sombre poignancy that eclipses consciousness and sanity. 

A name never far from the conversation when it comes to UK alt rap, Feux has blessed us with underground classics like Life? and CLOUD NINE in his so far condensed career. Following his slick six-prolonged EP DUBIOUS, Feux has been lurking in the shadows, popping up with the odd charismatic feature, whilst enhancing his own sound behind closed doors. Now back with what feels like the next phase of his artistic development, on Nights Feux sounds like an artist ready to fulfil his potential and drive forward the alt rap scene. 

This really is a portfolio of the artist’s skill set, bestowing some of his snappiest flows to date whilst also showcasing his quickly evolving melodic vocality. The atmospheric instrumental is darkly sonorous, picking its sonic pocket and delving deep into its blued timbre. The visuals, co-directed by Feux himself alongside talented visionary LAUZZA, cloak the tune in ambiguity, driving the narrative forward into a manifestation of gorgeous uncertainty.
