Stirring in its range from nocturnal spaciousness to thunderous distorted guitars, “Emery” is the new single from Safezonefire. The elusive project shows a fierce rock-forward power throughout. The morose initial vocals are beautifully accompanied by patient guitar murmurs, arising into a warming distortion-forward envelopment prior to the one-minute turn. The clanging percussion and soaring vocal composure invigorate here, concocting a ’90s alt-rock nostalgia with a wistful reminiscing. The track’s striking tonal peaks and valleys prove wholly compelling.
