Brighton’s Fierce Friend, the solo venture of Alan Grice, reemerges with 'Blood Red Hills', a kinetic first glimpse into his upcoming album 'Blood Red Hills & The Uncanny Valley'.
Balancing precision and chaos, the track fuses jagged indie guitar work with shimmering electronic detail, creating something that feels both tightly controlled and slightly off-centre. There’s a restless energy running through it, propelled by woozy riffs and unexpected turns, while beneath the surface, a more fragile narrative unfolds, charting the slow breakdown of trust over time.
Grice, known for his work with Electric Soft Parade and other Brighton underground staples, sharpens his sound here into something leaner and more immediate without losing the melodic sophistication that has defined his work to date.
If 'Blood Red Hills' is the opening move, Fierce Friend’s next album looks set to push further into bold, unpredictable territory. Have a listen to it in the player below.
