Font – Hey Kekulé

Emerging from Austin’s vibrant music scene, Font unveils “Hey Kekulé,” a track from their forthcoming debut album Strange Burden, set for release in July on Acrophase Records. Known for their complex and nuanced soundscapes, Font continues to intrigue with their latest single, which showcases the band’s collaborative spirit and intricate musicianship.

“Hey Kekulé” features an elaborate arrangement that reflects the band’s collective approach to music creation. According to Thom Waddill, the band’s bandleader, the song is a testament to the subconscious creativity that flows when the band works together; the beat and piano parts are entirely the product of their joint efforts. This method allows for a pure expression of artistic spontaneity, unbounded by any predefined symbolic meanings.

Accompanied by a self-directed music video alongside Blake Nelson, the visual aspect of “Hey Kekulé” complements its sonic complexity. As Font prepares for their West Coast tour and the release of Strange Burden, this track stands as a promising glimpse into what promises to be an impactful debut album.
