There are certain bands that bring to mind the word ‘haunting’ in their music for me. I am not sure why always, but it usually has to do with hushed vocals and subtle but ever present keyboards. Of course, the lyrics can set the haunting scene as well. And there is something haunting about the Denton, Texas duo known as Fight Bite, who are new to me and probably to you as well.

What the so-called “dream pop” duo have to share on the album brings to mind the best of bands like Beach House. However the incredibly sad and (here it is again) haunting lyrics set the stage for an album full of slow growers. Check out a free tune from the upcoming album below.

Their debut album, Emerald Eyes is out now in their hometown but you have to wait until the end of October to get it elsewhere.

About Joe Long

Joe started ENS in 2003 after most people he wanted to talk to about music were worn thin by his ramblings. The outlet this site provided helped out, and somehow is still going 9 years later. After a four year stint as a WOXY DJ, Joe returned to Cincinnati and continues to pioneer ENS. In addition to the overall look and feel of the site, Joe provides regular reviews, and kinda makes sure this whole thing stays afloat.
