Hinkfuss - Castles in the Sky

Hinkfuss releases double single "Castles in the Sky"

The thumping drums, the riffs and the plunge into the verses of the first track make every beat seemingly more meaningful than the last for this track that expands and becomes more adventurous as it goes on. It’s snappy, original, and instantly memorable, even in a market flooding with post-pandemic pop. 

Some of the sounds have clear roots in classic rock, particularly the ever present sparkling riff which is unrelenting throughout. The real genius in the sound, though, is how they have taken this and wrapped it in a distinctly 60's/70's sound, and with it created a mini masterpiece. Building to a crescendo, dropping out, and building again multiple times; it has a real sense of well thought structure, whilst simultaneously maintaining the rawness that gives it such charm. 

The second track is titled "Feels like Yesterday" 

The feel of this song feels particularly complex, and at times leaves you wondering what to pigeon hole their sound as, but there’s no time or need to, as you will continue to marvel at it for what it brings you to. Although it's a more laid back track than the rest of the album, it leaves your head bopping and longing for more music from Hinkfuss. It carries a wide variety of styles that were showcased in previous songs, such as subtle hints to the wah guitar, and Queen style tranquil sections.

This new "Folk-Hop" style has been described as "indie-folk culture finally catches the hip-hop bounce"  Us at IndieX couldn't disagree with that statement at all. C4C blends together sounds that work on so many levels. All the tracks move seamlessly as you're taken in by the immersive listening experience. Somewhat minimalistic, the calming, tranquil tones introduced in the tracks sit atop a hum of a variety of different instrumentation. Having already released dozens of tracks, it's little surprise just how much soul is poured into this art, and the outcome is staggering in its beauty.  The impressive element of the music is how tender and immersive it is, whilst still portraying a real and undeniable sense of power. It all passes with wonderful flying
