The mysterious debut single from Rain Beck, is a warmly, fuzz-tinged moment. ‘fairytale’ showcases dusty drum machines, melancholic guitar lines, and despondently styled vocals; all of the hallmarks of a great lo-fi track. It leans more into slowcore than dream-pop, the song meandering along at a glacial grind, Rain Beck’s vocals perfectly capturing the sombre mood that is deep in the tracks’ bones.
As a debut single, ‘fairytale’ hints at Rain Beck’s further output. Hopefully, we shall be hearing more of their fusty, yet ethereal slowcore. It would appear as if Rain Beck is a fully formed artist, with a point of view that leaps effortlessly from their work. They are a name that should be on your radar, and I look forward to hearing much more.
