With its shuffling rhythm, lilting vocal harmonies and glistening melodies the upcoming single “The Cold” by Fourth Son South is the type of song that inspires feelings of warmth and hope.
Featuring in their ranks Bernhard Viljoen on bass and vocals, Dale Mchardy on Rhythm guitar, Peter Toussaint on lead guitar and vocals, Carel Viljoen on drums and vocals and recent member Sarah Jade Gardner on vocals, this five member collective create music of the most mellifluous sort.
Beginning with a scuffling rhythm interlaced with honeyed guitars and beautifully layered vocal harmonies “The Cold”, a song fraught with immaculate pacing leads up to a triumphant and arena ready chorus.
There is a sense of infectious melancholy that underpins this lovely piece of songcraft which is superbly offset by the firey optimism that entangles itself into the tracks overarching sonic narrative.
With its bluesy grit and Indie Pop infused gloss, “The Cold” is a captivating and catchy song that speaks of the fact that no matter how bad things are they will inevitably improve.
Available for your listening pleasure on October 7, I highly recommend giving “The Cold” a listen. You will not be dissapointed. Always remember “The Light Will Come Again”
