Danish trio Farveblind are redefining the edges of electronic music. Their sound sits where punk volatility meets industrial precision, colliding breakbeats, acid-drenched techno, punk fury, sweeping cinematic layers and pure adrenaline. Today the Copenhagen outfit release new single ‘Battle Lady-Like’, featuring vocals from Jesse Clasen of enigmatic US duo Foreign Air.
Teasing the release of their debut full-length, ‘Battle Lady-Like’ is driven by a brooding bassline and relentless rhythm, spiralling into a feverish clash of noise and emotion. Lyrically, it’s a portrait of apathy and collapse, anchored by the menacing refrain “These feet will never march” - a refusal to engage, to resist, and to take a stand.
Produced by Farveblind and mixed by Gustav Brunn (Viagra Boys, Yung Lean), the song’s surreal lyrics conjure loan sharks, underground tunnels, and dreams soaked in malt liquor - vivid snapshots of a world teetering on the edge.
A hypnotic, hard-hitting statement of intent - on its creation, Farveblind said:
“Battle Lady-Like” was conceived two years ago during a writing trip to our hometown. The Mellotron part started as a failed attempt at something jazzy - almost MF DOOM-like. One night, around four in the morning, we stumbled back home pretty drunk and somehow ended up watching a Led Zeppelin documentary that we’ve never been able to find again. That’s when Jens claimed he could flawlessly play ‘Immigrant Song’ - which explains the drums you hear in the track. We knew we had something, but we weren’t sure what to do with it. After sitting in a folder for a couple of years, we finally sent it to Jesse and Jacob from Foreign Air, who revived it. They shuffled things around, sharpened the edges, and brought in that iconic, manic-aggressive vocal you hear today."
Jesse from Foreign Air added:
“I wanted this song to feel like you picked up a comic book and started reading from the middle of it. Intense and packed full of story with little context. I love collaborating because it allows for more experimentation, breaking out of the self imposed confines of a more long term project. I felt free to experiment with my voice in more of a theatrical way.”
The new single follows the Farveblind’s recent release ‘Salary Man’ - an acid-techno/punk treatise on the monotony of office culture, featuring the snarling vocals of Sean Michael Seldorf Flaherty of Danish punks USERS
Known for blurring the line between live chaos and club ecstasy, Farveblind’s performances have lit up Roskilde, Reeperbahn and Eurosonic, earning them a reputation as one of Europe’s most vital new acts. With ‘Battle Lady-Like’ and ‘Salary Man,’ they cement themselves as one of the most thrilling forces emerging from Copenhagen’s electronic underground.
