‘Big Ground’ is the most recent release from eclectic four-piece Folly Group. The experimental band draw from a variety of genres, ranging from post-punk to dub and trip-hop and this latest single is no less of an exciting musical journey. The band introduce themselves with a gang vocal that quickly descends into an exciting blend of cold, electronic verses and big, guitar-driven choruses that culminate in a huge psych-rock freakout. “The basic concept of this song is life filling you with so much anxiety and dread that you would rather you didn’t exist at all - you’d rather be swallowed by the ground,” they say. “In a way it’s sort of celebrating this fact, because once you know this deep down inside you can start to let go of these anxieties because after a while you face so many that they start to matter less.” The band have announced the release of their long-awaited debut album, Down There!. It drops on January 12th, 2024. -Dan Peeke
