THE FIXX – Every Five Seconds (2022)
British 80’s MTV-era icons THE FIXX are about to release their first album in a decade, ”Every Five Seconds”, out 3rd June. The record is produced by Stephen W Tayler (Kate Bush, Stevie Nicks, Peter Gabriel) and mastered by Alex Wharton (Paul McCartney) at Abbey Road Studios in London.
Still maintaining the original line-up since formed in the late Seventies (a rare avis), THE FIXX has been heralded as one of the most innovative bands to come out of the MTV era. For four decades, the style and substance of the band has always created a special connection with its audience. THE FIXX’s themes are often complex, introspective and thought-provoking, but not without widespread mass appeal.
Indeed, while ‘new wave’, THE FIXX is band which music always had fans from different genres, with their songs being covered from metal to electronic acts. Despite being from the UK, the band has garnered three US #1 hits, five more in the Top 5 and a dozen which reached the Top 10.
After first listen, it’s obvious the band took the necessary time to polish all the songs that finally made it into ”Every Five Seconds”. It will not disappoint longtime fans and will undoubtedly attract new ones.
Songs like “Woman of Flesh & Blood“ captures the true spirit and essence of the band, with charismatic frontman Cy Curnin and guitarist Jamie West-Oram trading vocals, while “Spell” and “Closer” showcase the band’s unique and edgy sound.
The songs on the album flow together seamlessly, and there is depth and substance to each. Authentic songs that get to the heart of what this great band is all about. The FIXX are one of the few bands that manage to come across as both timely and timeless.
