In a music industry frequently inspired by chasing trends, For You Brother makes a welcome leap back to the days when rock music roared with independence, fire, and feeling. Their new song "Fly Away" is an exciting escape. The instrumental is a quasi-sonic time machine, loosely based in the heart of 80s rock, but given an edge that glistens anew.
"Fly Away" crafts a whole, enveloping vibe with powerful guitar variations and sweeping piano runs that feel as though they are raising the listener off the ground. It's a confident instrumental that's big and brash, yet has its moments of grace, letting the listener breathe before being carried away in another wave of sound.
In "Fly Away," there's not a wasted note played, nor any variation that isn't an eruption of emotion. And there's a carefree, almost cinematic sense of motion in how the melodies develop, giving their sound picture an air that feels simultaneously old and newly alive.
"Fly Away" is for anyone in need of a reminder of how potent instrumental music can be when driven by passion and precision. Because For You Brother has crafted something that pays homage to the past, all while being a celebration of the now, yet again demonstrating that great rock does not need lyrics to tell you everything you really need to know.
