Rising duo Big Fear announce their explosive new single ‘Anger’, as a precursor to their forthcoming EP New Hire. Produced by Charlie Andrew (alt-J, Wolf Alice, David Gilmour), the track showcases the band’s signature fusion of alt-pop dynamism, industrial-tinged synths, and visceral live instrumentation.
Fronted by the asexual, and endlessly expressive Alice Edwards, alongside multi-instrumentalist Jack Wilkinson, Big Fear craft searing narratives that confront contemporary culture with wit, rage, and vulnerability. ‘Anger’ channels a deeply personal, feminine fury, exploring the emotional toll of forced reinvention and unattainable expectations in relationships.
Alice explains: “Feminine rage, y’all. The woman who has to shed her skin between every relationship, forced into changing herself to be what is deemed desirable by the men she is trying to marry. One by one they will reject her, and she will drive herself mad over the failures. She cannot obtain love for who she is because she is never permitted to show herself, crafted into a new persona with each experience. She is forever angry at what the world does to her, she is forever mourning a happy marriage.”
