Icarus Finn, a band born from the sunlit hills of Southwest France, weaves music that feels like a journey through mist and memory. Their melodies ripple with emotion, and their lyrics carry the weight of dreams and distant horizons. With their debut full-length album set to emerge later this year, Icarus Finn invites you into a world where strange, beautiful energy meets poetic storytelling, hoping to enchant hearts far and wide.
Icarus Finn captures the intimacy and vulnerability of acoustic folk with the expansive sonics of indie rock on their new single “Valentine.” The quaint outing features gentle vocals that cascade around an arrangement that finds the middle ground between stadium-sized swells and the quaint warmth of more simplistic tunes. Although, the emotions being explored on “Valentine” are far from simple. The song explores that moment when love turns from innocence to heartbreak, capturing an emotional mindstate that can send the most stoic person into a puddle of themselves. The nimble acoustics juxtapose the dark storytelling, as does the pop-leaning harmonies of the hook and the bright melodies that deliver the lyrics. “Valentine” is a refreshing take on modern love and modern indie rock in one sweep as Icarus Finn delivers their unique perspective over a honed yet sprawling arrangement.
“Valentine is the ache of watching a light fade, a spark once bright in someone drifting into shadow. It’s a quiet, wistful tragedy,” explains Icarus Finn. “The innocence that slips further away veiled beneath the years until it’s hidden forever.”
