Felte

<p>Felte is a music label that was started in Brooklyn by Jeff Owens, along with art director Philistine DSGN. Originally based in Brooklyn, the label has since relocated to Los Angeles. Felte specializes in moody, atmospheric, and texturally dynamic sounds and imagery.</p>

The relatively short life of San Francisco’s Aluminum has so far yielded a single (Spinning Backwards, 2020) and an EP (Windowpane, 2022), but their debut LP, <i>Fully Beat</i>, overflows with tenured confidence and a singular style that deftly comprises shoegaze, big beat, and jangle pop. With influences ranging from Orbital, to Wipers, to The Avalanches and Sly and the Family Stone, theirs is a multifaceted take on established forms, fed through fuzz and led by honeyed, male-female vocal harmonies from Bay Area post-punk veterans Marc Leyda (of Wild Moth) and Ryann Gonsalves (of Torrey).

Composed across several weeks of experimentation, it is a prime iteration of Aluminum’s meticulous world of sound, which nevertheless carries an air of wry nonchalance. Asking, “Do you ever see behind my mouth?”, Gonsalves notes that the song “comes from a place of wanting to be understood authentically, and to communicate intentionally.”

For fans of&nbsp;My Bloody Valentine, Happy Mondays, 80s underground punk, Primal Scream, Mission of Burma.
