Feldup

Feldup, at just 18, caught many by surprise with his album "A Thousand Doors, Just One Key." This self-taught musician, who had already recorded nearly nine albums on his own, displayed a maturity and depth that captured listeners' attention. His compositions, like the standout single "Falling Apart," reflect his thoughtful approach to music and pay homage to the greats who influenced him. Now, Feldup has further evolved as an artist. His latest album, "Stared at from a Distance," is more than just a collection of songs; it's a deeply personal narrative about the significant emotional events he's experienced in recent years. Initially oscillating between ambient tracks and noise compositions, the album eventually rooted itself in rock. The songs truly took shape when Feldup began to draw from his own life experiences. This album features the haunting singles "Waters" and "Shove It," each capturing different facets of his emotional and musical journey. The lyrics in this album are vital, weaving an autobiographical thread that's essential for understanding his work. With influences from the '90s alternative scene and the 2000s New York rock revival, Feldup's music continues to evolve. His raw, urgent hymns and striking dissonances are likely to resonate with many. Additionally, Feldup now performs live with a full rock band, The Showerheads.
