A mystical experience is evident in Humble Francis’s “Pyro.” From the first strum of its bluesy guitar through to that very hook which remains in your head, it oozes energy and passion every track. It sounds alive and burning with life, viscerally showcasing a band unafraid to get experimental, setting their sound completely free to fly boldly around their creative stomping ground. Formed in Denver, this band is known for their high-energy live shows, and if “Pyro” is any indication, those sets will be even more explosive in the future.
This is music for those who want to get lost in the process and savor every little detail of artistic expression. It features elements of hip-hop and blues, with a dash of rock sprinkled on top, to create a sound that makes you feel the story. Humble Francis creates an entire world with their music. With a driving rhythm featuring a rough texture that harkens back to the mid-90s, the bassline offers a buttery richness, and the guitar adds another element of distortion.
Sharp and harsh vocal connections lure you into a deep-seated dive into darkness, which focuses on themes such as destruction and rebirth throughout the experience at hand. With this song, the beautiful balance is in how they build it out, with each verse thoughtfully crafted and musically layered to compound. The hook is so infectious that it resonates in your head, making you think about it, as the track expands on the idea of doing away with something and starting all over again, in a fresh manner.
Humble Francis is a master of enveloping you wholly within their music. To engage with “Pyro” is to become the music, from its muscular drum line and sturdy bassline, a dramatic quality that would score perfectly at night or in a twilit sequence in an unforgettable film. Their hands-on approach, paired with their visually vibrant style, is something that courses through every crack and crevice of the track, making it essential to their developing artistic direction. Humble Francis has ignited a fire through “Pyro,” and we’re all around to see the eruption.
