about

In the era of playlists, short attention span and the apparent 'death of the album', Sam Ray, the man behind FNF, drip-feeds one song at the time, to allow time to enjoy each serving on its own.
The accumulative force of these 'singles' seem to be building up to what we expect will form a full length incredible debut album this coming winter. An impressive body of work that keeps promising and somehow, manages not only to deliver every time, but to surpass any expectations.

Silhouettes is yet another killer tune that mixes observations of regular life with catchy hooks and a huge chorus. A tale of urban abandonment to the hedonistic escapism that helps us go through life, where everyone seems like mere shadows in a rainy night that passes by while we drive through the city. A high gloss, high impact monster of a single that could sit shoulder to shoulder with chart topping outputs from the likes of The 1975 or Chvrches.

lyrics

Do you remember we were young once
Invisible kids
Chasing cheap thrills in the back of an abandoned car
Rustin road side
A 100 pound sign
That says cash in hand

And all those long nights
All our wasted youth
Not romanticising anything
And we’re just as lost as we were back then
Haven’t figured out anything
And we’re still dancing like

Silhouettes
Fading into the night
Never shining too bright
Fall in love like
Like silhouettes
Under neon lights
Slow dancing until we cry

And now we’re no one and we’re laughing it off
Pretending we forgot
All the promises that we made
To each other on that winter’s night
With the evening’s drawing in

And all those long nights
All our wasted youth
Not romanticising anything
And we’re just as lost as we were back then
Haven’t figured out anything
And we’re still dancing like

Silhouettes
Fading into the night
Never shining too bright
Fall in love like
Like silhouettes
Under neon lights
Slow dancing until we cry

How can I move on
When you’re looking like that
Just pull me in
And take me back
Invisible kids
Stay forever like that
A silhouette
That fades to black

Silhouettes
Fading into the night
Never shining too bright
Fall in love like
Like silhouettes
Under neon lights
Slow dancing until we cry

This is not an album. It's a time machine, taking you instantly back to an undiscovered summer in the 1980s. Phenomenal. rapstertee

I'll start by saying Control is easily one of my top 3 synthwave tracks of all time. Rain, Push it to the limit and American Dream also live rent free in my head. This album is simply a must have gabardine0

Fraud! I didn't receive any goods after I paid. Every attempt to contact the artist or Bandcamp failed. I don't recommend anyone to buy here. Sorry but not sorry. With this unprofessional behavior you have lost all support and respect from me. elephant-man
