SEATTLE, Wash. – Experimental outfit newmath‘s latest single, “Poison Apple,” weaves elements of dream pop, shoegaze and other sub-genres of rock and indie pop to create a song inspired by “the fears, worries, and uncertainties about becoming a first-time parent,” according to musician Chris Fish.
The song takes inspiration from Deerhunter, M83, Blink 182, and the repetitive structure of acts like Glenn Branca and Swans, he adds.
Newmath evolved from a lo-fi acoustic drone project to the noisy dream pop sound heard on Fish’s 2021 release Kudzu.
Fish’s top musical influences are My Bloody Valentine, Kanye West, Blink 182, and Glenn Branca.
The forthcoming album, BLOOM, is a noise-rock, rock opera about the panic, uncertainty, and love of becoming a first-time parent during a time of social unrest. The album will drop in October.
