Feral Five’s dazzling debut album ‘Truth Is The New Gold’, is an evocative voyage through a Feraltropolis style future city, and an offering of sonic elixir for heart, feet and mind. Leading us through secret spaces, changing skies, personal truths and revelations, the Ferals glide seamlessly between bold alt pop, experimental electronica, and cinematic landscapes.
With acclaimed singles, EPs, and radio play including BBC 6Music and RadioX X-Posure under their belt, the Ferals have now signed with independent label Reckless Yes to take us on a deeper emotional journey in ‘Truth Is The New Gold’. (Reckless Yes Records)
Feral Five - Kat (she/her) Vocals, Synthetic AI voice, Guitar, Synths, Live coding, Percussion and Drew (he/him) Bass, Beats, Synths, Guitar, Percussion, Vocals - emit cosmic angel-disco melody.
Songs are tinted with Cocteau-twinned Duranish Portishead tangents, tech-tok trip-hop beats tackle lyrical home truths about Planet Earth. With ever inventive ways to create and present music and widescreen cinematic tones, these are are just a few facets of this Craft Punk duo. “Enid Blyton's worst nightmare" Steve Lamacq
Feral Five explore sonic frontiers of technology.
They’ve worked with sonified algorithms, 3D printing, predicting #3dprintinghumans, sampling and creating 3D printed artwork, and using a 3D printer as an instrument when they played Music Tech Fest. Recognition is growing.
As a founding member of both the Human League and Heaven 17, electo legend, Martyn Ware gets it and invited them to create and perform music for his Picasso Portraits night at the National Portrait Gallery in London’s Trafalgar Square as the great Women’s March of 2017 grew outside, ready for the next day.
By 2022, our Space Vixen, Kat Five is no stranger to repping at international technology events and industry/creative community conventions. She’s also been invited to join the Voting Academy for The Brit Awards 2023, thanks to the Music Producers Guild.
Additionally, TheZineUK can attest to her supporting fellow musicians at grassroots venues. Our situationist documentary gets mind expansion help from the kind souled vision of Feral Five.
They’re a golden thread through the zeitgeist tapestry of interdependence exciting dystopia with hope of better days. Over the last few years, especially we’re seeing the cast and crew of this tale gift new possibilities to whatever happens next.
In the multiverse, Feral Five are from a bright and colourful city of peaceful green spaces and artfully astounding places. ‘Truth Is The New Gold’ plays across Golden Rule Plaza sometimes and children of all ages throw shapes and style, blissfully.
This dimension is impressed with them, too:
“Glitchy throbbing beats, whirring electro-fused hooks, and a fierce driving energy”

“Think The Knife with the soundscapes of Sigur Ros”

"Etherealpop supreme.” Rocklands
Truth Is The New Gold. SOON.
