fuvk - “Is There Anything You’d Rather Be Doing”
SXSW 2020 - OEB Score: 7; Popularity Index: 7
Pairs Well With…Julien Baker, The Moldy Peaches, Courtney Barnett
Minimal bedroom folk artist fvck had a busy 2019, releasing two EPs and a couple follow-up singles to add to her vulnerable, tender catalog. While mostly based in lonely, spacious melodies, fuvk twists expectations every few tracks by adding full electro-rock production like on “Break”. The balance is nice, allowing fuvk to experiment while still rotating around a heartfelt core, like emo-pop filtered through layers of comfort and grace. (Kevin McStravick)
2019 Review: Fuvk’s music is as raw as it is minimal, heartfelt songs endearing in times of hope and sadness. Crafted with personal bedroom pop realness, fuvk connects instantly and shows a great deal of promise as her sound continues to grow. The Austin-based artist has a knack for melody too, naturally memorable and comfortably opening on her latest EP Time Series.
