Every so often the discussion of pursuing a form of musical perfection returns to our tables of discourse and debate. The noble cause of setting out to achieve the unachievable, the brave mission to make something that has never been made before. To carve out the perfect tone, the precise assembly of notes to make hooks that shine like a sparkling gem, the oceanic roar of an azure sapphire to the rouge luminance of a ruby.

London by way of Thames band First Day of Spring has gained notoriety across the seas for specializing in evocative arts that elicit empathy and emotion from the furthest depths and dimensions of the spirit and being. Leader Samuel Jones and the crew have caught attention with recent singles like “Days”, “Stupid” and “Moon Boy” that have set a benchmark in the orchestration of music made with feeling (created to in turn inspire feelings). The high tone touchstones of Spring are found in their abilities to marry the serotonin saturated highs from abandoned warehouse happenings with the fuzz box flair and swagger of DIY dive pub stars. First Day of Spring composes music that sets aim for transcendent states and levels of elation that are incalculable while delivering land and gorgeous soundwaves in an electrically visceral vernacular.

Call it the Southend-on-Sea sound if you will, “Operation” mulls on the ramifications on how our IRL worlds have been impacted by the URL universes that have indelibly altered us as a international body of people. Samuel & cohorts layer meaningful expressions of guitar, some bathed in distortion and others offering percussive progressions and other structural infrastructure. Samuel’s lamentations are enrobed in the chords that carry forth a sweet and hopeful synth hook that makes the melancholic motif feel of the song feels so good and so righteous. “Operation” cuts with precise incisions, entering the blood stream through the ears and reverberates throughout the psyche, nervous system and spirit that take it’s cause past the Wi-Fi signals, high speed fiber optics, T-1, LAN connections, DSL and dial-up for a human connection that is so much more the contrivances of online existentialism.

Samuel Jones shared the following insights on the new single:

The concept behind “Operation” was to demonstrate the level of intrusion that the internet has on not just our minds, but every aspect of human life. the song is meant to sound like a computer drilling and operating on the listener'.

First Day of Spring’s Fly Over Apple-Blossom will be available February 24.
