Fury Weekend’s latest synthwave single “Constellation” (feat. Mari Kattman) is, in his own words, the “Second song of upcoming album continue new saga of Fury Weekend universe, dedicated to love, space, and galaxy.”
Mari Kattman’s enchanting vocals take center stage in this fervent single coupled with thoughtful lyrics. From the the infectious rhythm section to the shimmering synths, every aspect of the track is meticulously crafted to evoke feelings of happiness and exhilaration. Fury Weekend’s adept production skills shine through in “Constellation,” as he effortlessly blends elements from synthwave and indie pop to create a unique and captivating musical experience, and offers fans a beautiful homage to the ’80s. Whether enjoyed on the dance floor or through headphones, this infectious track is sure to leave a lasting impression.
The Fury Weekend project was created when Belarus-based Ars Nikonov chose to combine his love of classic rock, electronic music, and ‘80s culture into a forward-thinking music venture. The result is a dystopian synthwave sound that blends bright synth melodies and gritty guitar work into a singular music vision of the future.
The uniqueness of Fury Weekend should come as no surprise given the artist’s background, which involves ambitious projects ranging from industrial to post-rock. Diversant: 13, Cold in May, Martian Love, Seanine, and Tribal A.D. are some of the many names that fill Ars’ creative resume, and each of those has given the creator the experience and tools needed to make an impact with his retro-futuristic synthwave project.
Mari Kattman is a solo artist who also collaborates with Tom Shear of Assemblage 23 on a project named Helix, whose vocals are characterized by moments of lush harmonies with strategic vocal/musical syncopation resembling that of the hip hop genre. Her music can be described as having a good balance of ambient pads cut up by ticking high hats with deep and boomy kicks.
