The Fix is a talented alternative rock outfit that released their latest album “Nowhere To Hide” on the 4th of July, 2023. This album is a 12 track masterpiece with songs that bring poignantly social commentary. The Fix use their skills to get a vibrant sound that keeps you hooked and this album will surely become a fixture of your playlists once you give it a listen.
Opening on “Things Got Nuclear” this track sets the tone for the album masterfully both in terms of the album's themes and the sound style you can expect. The warm singing contrasts well with the dirty guitars and fat bassline. Things get cranked up a notch for the next track “Definitions” which features an unforgettable guitar riff that drives this song. This song is a quick injection of energy and will have your head banging in no time. The third track on this album is “Lost My Mind” and it is a true delight to listen to. Clean guitar arpeggios and steady drumming on this track build its haunting soundscape. A slow burn, this song slowly builds in its energy until it ultimately crescendos and the album then transitions into the fourth track “It’s Ok”. This song uses the same classic elements of The Fix’s sound that we are familiar with to create an infectious groove. “Find My Way Home” is one of the standout tracks of this album on which The Fix use beautiful guitar melodies and soulful singing to bring you an emotive auditory experience like no other. “Be My Architect” and “Dogs At The Door” mark the midpoint of this album and lean into the grunge rock influences that are sprinkled through this album. “Cold Water” continues this album's structure of giving us a slow and heartfelt track between powerful rock tracks. “Daydreaming” and “You’re Too Polite” are powerful tracks that will completely immerse you in their ambiences. Closing out this album is “Gravediggers” and “Wet Paper Figures” which wrap up this fifty-one-minute experience with a neat bow.
The Fix has knocked it out of the park with this album. With a masterful production that maintains a consistent tone on the instrumentation through the runtime of the album, each song flows smoothly from one to the next. The vocal performance on this album is stellar and unforgettable. I loved listening to “Nowhere To Hide” and highly recommend that you give this album a listen, so go check it out today!
