“The Knock”, the new single from Welsh group Feeder, off their new double album, “Black / Red,” is a nostalgic journey into the heart of rock that reaffirms why this genre continues to grip audiences. The lyrics delve into introspective themes, questioning the consequences of one’s actions and the pursuit of inner peace amidst doubt and pain.

The song opens with contemplative verses, asking profound questions about lying awake and hiding pain. The repetition of phrases like “How do you sleep now” and “Do you follow your conscience” adds a reflective quality to the lyrics. The chorus brings a powerful and anthemic feel, with the repeated refrain of “Get ready for the fall,” creating a sense of impending change or challenge.

Timeless Rock

Feeder’s signature sound is unmistakable in “The Knock.” The track is infused with a timeless rock vibe that harks back to the band’s roots. The instrumentation is solid, with a driving rhythm that complements the introspective nature of the lyrics. The guitar work is particularly noteworthy. Moreover, it delivers a blend of melody and energy that enhances the overall impact of the song.

As a long-time fan, it’s refreshing to hear Feeder staying true to their original sound. “The Knock” doesn’t succumb to trends or compromise the band’s identity. Instead, it serves as a reminder of why Feeder has stood the test of time. The lyrics resonate with relevant themes, and the music carries a familiarity that evokes memories of the band’s earlier hits.

For us, “The Knock” is a standout track on “Black / Red”. Also, it demonstrates Feeder’s ability to craft music that is both relevant and reminiscent. The song’s nostalgic rock vibes, coupled with its introspective lyrics, make it a compelling addition to the band’s extensive discography.
