Faith & Majesty - 'Premise'
Sister singer-songwriter duo Faith & Majesty find catharsis on brooding and compelling indie folk single, ‘Premise’.
Opening on an instrumental equally emotive as it is ambient, ‘Premise’ by Faith & Majesty welcome their listener into layers of dreamy and tranquil sonic textures, interjected by a strong, indie folk, percussive driving rhythm courtesy of John Misty’s drummer, Dan Bailey.
Faith & Majesty are both blessed with gritty, emotional folk vocals and there’s something very profound about the way both of their distinctive tones come together when they harmonise. In essence, ‘Premise’ is a masterclass in melancholia and vulnerability. It’s a thought-provoking song with a great deal of emotional depth in its intelligently crafted lyrics.
Throughout ‘Premise’, Faith & Majesty take their listener on a rocky rollercoaster of affecting and suspenseful indie folk instrumentation, joined with dark disorientating synth; sometimes vulnerable, sometimes roaring, always provocative. This is the kind of the track that niggles at the very heart of its listener, leaving you yearning for something you just can’t put your finger on. A thrilling, haunting and thoroughly addictive listen. More please!
