Forty Foot

‘Miles Away’ finds Forty Foot exploring a wider sonic template than on previously releases, slowing the tempo and allowing layers of guitars, effect pedals and synths to create a dreamy base for Sam’s emotionally heavy vocals. The longing of the song is punctuated in the production of the track, with a conscious decision to create space between the vocals and music, giving air and breath to the track. Mark Dillion’s guitar tones are awash in reverb and chorus adding to the hazy, dream like quality of the track, while Anthony Ross’s drums and Keith Ennis’s bass add the pulse and drive to the track keeping it grounded amongst the spacey-shoegaze elements of the track.
