London-based trio green star share the howling blur of sound and emotion that is their new single “four-o-five,” a song that breaks through the noise like a storm rolling in over a restless city. As a preview for their debut EP, “bleeding swirls,” which arrives on May 2nd, this latest offering is all about a visceral struggle between self-flagellation and newfound liberation, all within the confines of a near-unbroken assault of raging guitars and guttural energy.
All from different parts of the world, Lilah Bobak from Los Angeles, Pedro Soler from Mallorca, and Alberto De Torre from Madrid, the trio discovered artistic chemistry in London, and their disparate influences combust into something urgent, electric, and unapologetically alive.
“four-o-five” is an explosive catharsis. The track throbs with a tension that borders on confrontation and celebration, a glimpse in the mirror after the haze has subsided, wondering what has burned yet how intoxicating the road ahead is. The instrumentation sounds like the fever dream of distortion, and its fierce, insistent guitars slam against propulsive rhythms. Vocals walk through the mix with an emotional intensity that is intimate and anthemic at once, like hollering into a void only to finally hear it holler back.
“four-o-five” has a wild, heart-quickening instant where realization and release coexist. It’s that sound of running through city streets at night, of metal and neon lights buzzing above, of past mistakes dissolving with the rhythm of running and moving forward. green star has bottled up that feeling and allowed it to burst forth on a track that needs to be felt as much as heard.
