The album feels lost in the best possible way, coating pensive songs with a sheen of cool remove, but not so cool as to obscure the vulnerable moments coexisting with the noise. View credits, reviews, tracks and shop for the 2019 CD release of 'Into Red' on Discogs. Fews grow as a band on this effort by putting their struggle to balance sonic upheaval and messy, ungrounded feelings in the center of every track. One of the strengths of the album is how it moves between claustrophobia and clarity, gracefully switching gears from cluttered, repetitive blasters like "Anything Else" to more spare (if dour) tunes like "Suppose" or dreary album standout "97." Into Red feels distant but still sees the band reaching for more emotionally connective expressions. Self described as post-punk, with motorik elements of krautrock and noise pop, the band blends this sound with elements of neo-psychedelia. They were based in London around the release of their debut album. Angst is the primary emotion on much of Into Red, from the dissociating narration of early- Radiohead-esque album opener "Quiet" to the grinding, bass-driven "Business Man." Fews walk a thin line between dissonance and pop throughout Into Red, always tempering their knotty post-punk impulses with moments of soaring harmony. Fews (stylised as FEWS) are an American-English-Swedish rock band, formed in 2014 in Malm, Sweden. The song nods to both the uneasy vocal delivery and eerie songcraft of the Pixies as well as the walls of guitar noise implemented by less championed shoegaze acts like Loop or the Telescopes. The terse and moody song finds partially spoken vocals bending around verses before exploding into enormous choruses. Lead single "Paradiso" highlights some of these shifts in the band's style.

Second album Into Red expands on the tension-heavy tones of Means, retaining some of that album's repetitive rhythmic churn while branching out into more dynamic songwriting and exploring shoegazey guitar tones and angular approaches to songwriting. Working mostly out of London, the band had roots in separate Swedish towns and grew from an online friendship between Malmo musician Fred Rundqvis and David Alexander, who moved from San Francisco to Sweden to start Fews with Rundqvis in 2013. Dark and textural rock outfit Fews emerged from scattered origins with a bold 2016 debut entitled Means. Swedish American krautrock band's newest sophomore release strips off its subtle sonic palette into more jangly, dissonant post-punk edge that altogether feels a welcome change to its constantly shifting atmosphere.
