Sacramento-based band Creux Lies returns with their new single, Frozen, a track which finely blends the band’s characteristic post punk edge with danceable rhythms. The new song is a refined exploration of both darkness and depth, exhibiting the band's ability to produce music which feels as emotionally resonant as it is sonically rich.
Having stood out for their eclectic mix of influences, Creux Lies continues to evolve their sound, and Frozen stands as a vivid testament to their artistic trail. The track fuses elements of new wave, neo-romanticism, gothic, darkwave, and punk, forging an identity which is all nostalgic and forward-thinking.
Frozen proudly tips its hat to the eighties, balancing reverence with a playful slyness. It delves into themes of regret, emotional detachment, and a profound sense of coldness. Through its evocative imagery of winter and loss, the new single epitomizes a yearning for retrospection and a stark realization of what’s been irretrievably lost, giving way to a realm of emotional numbness and despair.
In a moving piece which lingers with a desire for an altered past, Creux Lies offer a new perspective on new wave while highlighting their gloomy undertones.
