Badvril Announce New Album Lethal: Hear “Fever”

The shoegazey San Francisco rock band Badvril came on my radar through Bandsplain host Yasi Salek, who included one of their dreamy, poppy, hard-slapping songs a playlist a couple years back. We posted their debut album In Heaven last year, describing it as "entrancing," and today they announced the follow-up. Lethal is dropping in October, and in addition to the recent Badvril tracks "Push It Down" and "Golden," it has today's new single "Fever."

If you're feeling like you don't want to listen to the Lemonheads anymore, "Fever" might be a good substitute. It's got a similar aerodynamic glide to it, and between the vocals and lead guitar, power-pop hooks are abundant beneath that fuzz. "Lose my control/ I won't let it go," Becket Schroeder sings on the chorus. "No self control/ I'll still sell my soul."

Below, watch the "Fever" video and check out those prior singles, which are also excellent.
