SINGLE REVIEW: PHARAOHS “FABLE”
Capturing a moment of uncertainty revolving around change, “Fable” sets its scene in a reverberant, swirling dark, electronica world where the feeling seems to be emphasized and reshaped in the air, joining the smoky, radiating, sensitive lights and sounds.
The debut release of Pharaohs has created a sonic world with their unique indie-pop, dark electronica-inspired language, stimulating vivid, brand-new imageries with its ever-changing dreamscape. “Fable” in a way, is hard to be pinned down by words.
“One day late into the evening I’d been working on different piano progressions over a four to the floor beat and it wasn’t until I wrote the horn section that I realized the song was unfolding. ‘Fable’ for me is about the common uncertainty we have when met by a fork in the road, making a choice and backing yourself that you’ve chosen the right path, wherever that path may take you,” said Kendall James from Pharaohs.
Pharaohs is the musical brainchild of Kendall James and Brett Sellwood. “Fable” as the first collaboration between the pair has naturally become their introduction to the rest of the world. Establishing a sonic experience that can only be described as “Escapism Electronica,” Pharaohs creates a lucid, emotive, and immersive world.
