Australia’s WINDWAKER — vocalist Liam Guinane, guitarist Jesse Crofts, bassist Indey Salvestro, drummer Chris Lalic, and synths/samples specialist Connor Robins — have returned with a brand new banger for your listening pleasure.
Today, the band has shared the new single “Fractured State of Mind.”
“Fractured State of Mind” is aptly named. It’s a glorious musical mindfuck that will make both your head and body tingle with its ferocity. The band cross-pollinates ’90s-inspired electronic flourishes, synths, blood-chilling screams, gnarly riffs, and breakdowns with soaring choruses, clean vocals, and a heap of hooks. The song quietly fades out but leaves one helluva mark. It’s a perfect execution of brutal and beautiful.
“‘FSoM’ showcases a darker, heavier take on our sound without sacrificing the melodies and experimental sound design Windwaker is known for,” the band offers. “It’s an anthem of frustration, born from battling the forces that try to dictate how we think and live. It’s a wild ride that dives deep into the chaos of a messed-up world, yet still hooks you with a chorus that’s as catchy as it is rebellious.”
“Fractured State of Mind” is the first new music from the band since they dropped the video for the brand new single “SIRENS” in 2023. You can watch that video here.
