A debut album containing no filler whatsoever, and a record that mirrors the ferocious intensity of those live shows to boot.
FEWS have created an excellent debut they can be proud of. Fresh, exhilarating and mesmerizingly addictive, Means is neither a limousine nor a Mini – it’s a triumph from start to finish.
Means is shadowed and dizzying, sour and fleeting. The album captures the essence of an indie sound that's almost universally considered to be jaded, and proves that the genre may be weatherworn, but its framework is ripe for a renovation.
As a whole, it’s just a shame that on Means, FEWS’ originality seems far between.
