Hertfordshire Indie newcomers The Pedals take us on the rollercoaster of a messy relationship on vibrant offering "Spitting Feathers," which blends buoyant sonics with melancholic vocals and heartfelt lyricism. Rooted in the signature indie-rock sensibilities, the track strikes a balance between being punchy and restrained, swaying effortlessly between powerful charm and emotional sincerity.
Built on biting guitars, punching drums and grounding bass, the track is catchy and intense all at once as it unfurls a tale of confusion in love. Ya know, it’s one of those songs that just gets under your skin – in the best way possible. Speaking of the track, they say, "The lyrics describe someone who is completely confused about what their partner wants and what they’re even looking for themselves. They keep trying to make things work, even when it feels like they’re losing who they are."
Honing on the idea of putting our comfort and safety first, the track encourages us to move on from relationships that don’t afford us that security. It’s kinda like that moment when you realize you’ve been holding onto something that’s just not working anymore.
Having quickly gained recognition for their effortless yet controlled musicality, The Pedals establish themselves as an act to watch. Their momentum continues to build, and honestly, we’re pretty excited to see where they go next!
