The Fades have proven once more the musical weight they can pull with their latest single, “Looking for Keanu”. This song is an amazing rock song that deserves to be at the top of your playlist. The energy in this song is felt in every part of it and the lyrics are well written and original.
The track’s title is inspired by a story about finding a friend when you are desperate, what better friend to think of than Keanu? As Dave, the lead vocalist narrates daydreaming about coming across him one day while there were rumors of Keanu filming nearby their rehearsal space. A whimsy foundation gives the tune a relatable and amusing storyline.
Musically, this song pays homage to 90s slacker indie rock thus showing The Fades at their most contemplative and self-deprecating. The singing is lush and dramatic but still the guitars and drums do fantastic things. The bass line adds more complexity to it which makes it interesting.
In short, “Looking For Keanu” is a great achievement in terms of being catchy as well as memorable which also tells us about an amazing talent of The Fades. We love its work and eagerly wait for what they will take up next.
