In a world of standardised music formulas, we look with admiration to the few heroes that dare to venture outside the beaten path, developing a unique and personal sound that instantly makes them stand out from the rest. Swedish/Norwegian duo The Fruitfakes are the perfect example of that, championing an eclectic blend of modern electronica and trip-hop, the perfect background for the pair’s luscious and complex vocals.
Take for instance ‘Strong’, slow-paced gem from 2018’s album ‘Stay’. There’s a particular iciness to it, a minimalism that empowers the vocals to take their space, accompanying the listener through a poignant and transformative journey into their deepest pulsions. Sonically, the production blends analogue synth-inspired lines to sample-based drum patterns, unveiling The Fruitfakes’ wider pool of reference.
Last active in 2021, the nordic duo is now gearing up for an exciting upcoming release, in what will be a welcome return for the two talented musicians.
