Femtanyl, the UK's digital hardcore duo, are about to show you their softer side as they unveil an exclusive chill playlist for NME's 'The Cover' feature. This bold move is a far cry from their intense soundscapes, but it's a must-listen for fans who want to get beyond the surface level of these innovative artists.
The 'Femta-nil' playlist is a masterclass in contrast, featuring tracks by James K, Grouper, and Sigur Rós that will transport you to a world of calm. But don't be fooled – this is no cop-out from the usual Femtanyl intensity. Noelle Mansbridge and Juno Callender have simply flipped the script, sharing the sounds they actually listen to when they're not creating their own brand of sonic chaos.
Streaming now on Spotify and Apple Music, 'Femta-nil' offers a peek into the personal influences that fuel Femtanyl's art. With tracks from James K's soothing electronica to Grouper's haunting ambient landscapes, this playlist is the perfect antidote to the duo's signature high-energy beats.
But what's behind this sudden switch to chill vibes? For Mansbridge and Callender, it's all about finding balance in their creative lives. As they explain, 'Femta-nil' is their go-to mix when they need to unwind – a testament to the power of music to transport us to new worlds.
Of course, this isn't the first time Femtanyl has pushed boundaries with their art. Their debut album, 'Man Bites Dog', dropped in February and sent shockwaves through the music scene with its bold exploration of identity and self-discovery. But now, they're giving fans a chance to see beyond the surface level – and discover a more intimate side of these innovative artists.
NME's 'The Cover' feature is at the forefront of emerging talent, and Femtanyl are proud to be part of this esteemed lineup. With their unique blend of digital hardcore and chill vibes, they're the perfect example of how music can surprise and inspire us – even from unexpected angles.
