Bridging old divides requires a difficult examination of past mistakes but is the only way to truly heal. That’s the message of Better Place, the newest single from the band Electric Fuchsia. Better Place is the fifth release from the trio whose careers have taken them to opposite sides of the Atlantic—where they write, produce, and record completely online. The song embodies Electric Fuchsia’s characteristic blending of new and old: bringing together classic rock melodies influenced by artists such as ELO with modern vibes similar to Post Malone.
This merging of old and new, digital, and analog, home and foreign is core to not only this song, but to the identity of Electric Fuchsia. Sizzling 80s guitar recorded on vintage mics and gear in Chicago fit in seamlessly with atmospheric synths recorded in Milwaukee and bass generated entirely through virtual instruments in Dublin. The song builds a rich tapestry that supports a simple and timeless melody.
The message of Better Place is special to each of the members of Electric Fuchsia. Their day jobs as: a social worker, an emergency room doctor, and a university professor, are all about reaching out and changing people’s lives. We’re all looking for a Better Place, let’s find it together.
