Review: Fever Dog – "Freewheelin’" Single



Danny Graham and Fever Dog have been hinting at some new music since the Mainframe EP came out back in 2017 and finally here have it in the form of Freewheelin’, the first song to drop as a single from the upcoming album Alpha Waves.
They did seem to be slightly moving away from the Pink Floyd psych last time round but Freewheelin’ has made a huge leap towards the world of 70’s proto rock and glam rock. Think Thin Lizzy Jamming with The Sweet, Suzi Quarto and The New York Dolls.
Four minutes built around a rockin’ riff with all sorts of memorable harmonies and some sweet synthesiser action. It starts to go “out there” but the guitars pull you along at 100mph. The vocal harmonies really are special though. Think a black backdrop, lots of lights, glitter and some strobe lights. I really hope a promo video comes out for the single.
Freewheelin’ is not the type of song that I thought I would hear from them but it’s a proper rocker. I dare you not to be tapping that foot. I am interested to see what the rest of the album does when it drops later this year. You need to own this song now.
