Shrimp Eyes‘ latest single, Fiction, introduces a profound emotional depth to the band’s lyricism. The track explores the narratives we construct about ourselves, emphasizing how unprocessed traumas shape our identities. This theme is mirrored in the music, where a shining synth chord lifts the song’s heaviness, providing moments of respite. The undulating guitar riffs capture the ebb and flow of conflicting emotions, while a noodling bass line intertwines with drums that oscillate between sharp cymbals and intricate fills.
Fiction beautifully melds these elements into an alt-rock anthem that validates emotional struggles and offers hope.
