our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the explosive new single “Mood Ring” from FEAR of MARKO
a real standout talent on the Manchester scene, we’ve known Marko for a good while, having had him perform a bunch, caught him live at so many gigs and we’re always in awe of his unique and ferocious talent – with not only a captivating and impressive stage presence, but also backed with the ability to create truly personal and unique songs that will have anyone dancing along. a must-see artist!
we’re massive fans of his music, having had the last single on repeat this year – and this new single “Mood Ring” only proves his musical capabilities even further! it opens with a ferocious hook, backed with a wall of distortion and a driving drum beat that give a real energy behind the track – and Marko takes charge of the song with his gritty and raw performance, utilising so many genres within his style to ensure that you’re hooked on every word. his lyricism in this one is spot on – his ability to tell a story in such a personal and passionate way yet maintaining a serious element of cool is one that puts FEAR of MARKO’s music above the rest.

this new single is an amazing debut offering from them, an explosive track right from the get-go, with a lovely grungey atmosphere present – so many different influences present and interacting in a real unique fashion. it drops away for the verse, a gorgeous space opening up for lead singer Zara’s vocal to soar over the backdrop, with introspective and intricate lyricism within each line. it’s a fantastic listen, and the dynamic throughout the track is second to none; the walls of sound and groove really ensuring that the track is worth putting on repeat. 🤘

over the past few years, she’s been performing across the North, at venues ranging from up in Cumbria to down in Sheffield, and this is her first full length release in six years – an album created with inspiration from genres such as folk, pop and jazz
the album is a collection of 10 tracks, all with gentle and intricate composition, smooth vocal melodies and heartfelt lyricism – a delicately put-together album that has the markings of excellence present throughout the entire listen. the flow of the tracklist is superb, it’s a calming listen that ebbs and flows so well from song to song, and it maintains an overall sense of serenity and grace with every line
we loved the previous two singles, such a delicate and intricate feel to them, with a real sense of authenticity and staying true to the feel of the songs – after making their mark on the Manchester scene over the past year or so, they’re back with a brand new track! ✨
this new tune “Forget Me” takes on a newer, more full band sound compared to the previous songs – and we love it! the band work in perfect unison to compliment Emma’s ethereal vocals, and delicate songwriting style; really proving the musicianship between each member and really elevating this song to a higher level. full of vocal harmonies, intricate melodies and instrumentation, it’s a lovely balance between alternative rock, folk and pop – a must-listen for any fan of good music! ☀️
