ABOUT
Fvnerals is a band from Glasgow.
Syd (guitar) met Tiffany (vocals/synth) in the south coast town of Brighton in the beginning of 2013. They recorded and released their first Ep “The Hours” in February via their label Eerie Echoes and started gigging in May the same year. In the beginning of 2014, they released an album and toured with their side project Myyths putting Fvnerals on hiatus for a few months. Myyths toured across England, Scotland and Belgium and were introduced on BBC Introducing the south.
During the summer of 2014, they started working on new songs that led to the recording of their debut album “The Light”. The album was released on vinyl by Throne Records while it is available digitally and on cd via Eerie Echoes Records. FVNERALS toured across England, Wales and Scotland in April 2015 and recorded a new Ep in June 2015 "The Path".
In October 2015, the band relocated to Glasgow, Scotland and are now working on their second album!
Fvnerals dark sound and slow paced atmospheres have been described as containing elements of doom, post-rock, drone, shoegaze and slowcore.
PRESS REVIEWS
"I once compared this band to Chelsea Wolfe and Earth, but on this EP FVNERALS
have further matured into a unique middle path between melodic gloom
and bleak monochrome doom sensibilities. These two tracks elevate the
darkness and sense of style and groove that made me love their last
offering, last year's 'The Light' so much while adding an added menace to their sound in the form of some extraordinary funereal riffing on the second track, ‘Ruin’,
this new jagged edge makes a great counterpoint to their sparse, subtle
lounge-drone tone, clashing in a crushing back-and-forth that is their
most exceptional material to date."
- The Sludgelord
" If you are a fan of slowcore, doom or shoegaze, there are enough elements to pull you into their sad dreamworld.
The oppressive, depressive introspection is beautifully painted here."
- CVLT Nation
" The Path is the kind of record that aims to draw the listener in, and succeeds in a manner that makes doing so seem easy.
(...) The Path is the sound of a band on the rise, confident in their sound whilst simultaneously finding ways to build upon it."
- The Sound Not The Word
"There is a lush gloom wrought from the minimalism and repetition in Fvnerals’ compositions on The Light. The expansive sound created by hypnotic synths, guitars that drift between deliberate dirge-like mantras and shimmering jangly strums, and down-tempo drumming is crowned spectacularly by the haunting, sensuous surrender to despair of vocalist Tiffany. Together, the three musicians have swept well beyond the suggested potential of their EP. Their capacity for deep, meditative mood of such moreish grimness is impressive.
(...) The Light is one bloody impressive debut LP. Do not pass it by!"
- Life is Noise
" (...) the places you are exploring are very misty and risky but the singer Tiffany holds our hand, drags us to follow them further on the path. She’s the warm candle light that guides you on the track by enlightening those uncertain places. Her voice is sumptuous, deep, warm and very mastered"
