Alba Fury - 'Out Of Time'
Edinburgh based post-punk band Alba Fury have released their debut single ‘Out of Time’.
The track has been described as gritty and driving, held down by an energetic rhythm section, and complemented by atmospheric, textured guitar tones. In one sense, the track has a dystopian feel, and in the other, it has pop sensibilities, particularly in the vocal melodies and songwriting.
In keeping with the band’s DIY ethos, the single was produced largely by the band themselves. It was recorded in part, in Aberdeen, with billboard-charting producer Ryan (RYZY) MacKay tracking the drums and bass guitar. The guitar and vocals were recorded by the band in Edinburgh, with mixing and post-production handled by the band’s bass player (and songwriter-producer), Jamie Thomson. The track was mastered by Philip Marsden in Oxford.
Jamie Thomson, the band’s songwriter and bass player, says:
‘Out of Time is a song about mortality. It’s about realising that our time on earth is limited, and the only thing we can do is accept it. It’s a pretty bleak subject, but I think it’s also quite life-affirming. The song is an exploration of impermanence and the conflicting feelings that go with it. I guess it’s also a way of trying to connect with people who have similar contradictory feelings about what it means to make the most of your life.’
