Portland\u2019s FENRA<\/strong>, the alias of B Laws<\/strong>, rolled out his sophomore single \u2018DEEPCUT\u2019<\/em><\/strong> via 6x Records<\/strong> on November 7, 2025, capping off a buildup to his debut EP Delusional<\/em><\/strong>, which follows suit three weeks later on the 28th of November. Raised in Santa Rosa, California, amid a backdrop of creative inspiration, FENRA<\/strong> caught the harmony bug early through the church hymns his grandmother shared. By 14, he was self-teaching guitar, then layering synths, vocals, and percussion in bands that logged miles across the US, Europe, and Asia. His current output pulls from the likes of Caribou<\/strong>, Four Tet<\/strong>, Floating Points<\/strong>, Bonobo<\/strong>, and DJ Koze<\/strong>, tempered by Philip Glass<\/strong>\u2018s precision and Gloria Ann Taylor<\/strong>\u2018s soulful edge. This release picks up from \u2018COFFEE\u2019<\/em><\/strong>\u2018s ambient glow, which landed on Magnetic Magazine<\/strong>, with the full EP getting a final touch from mastering engineer Aneek Thapar<\/strong>\u2014credits heavy with Rival Consoles<\/strong> and Max Cooper<\/strong> work.<\/p>\n \u2018DEEPCUT\u2019<\/em><\/strong> starts sparse, a bent synth line weaving through faint string lines and diffused ambient layers, as off-kilter percussion settles into a loose pocket. Those elements draw out the space before a taut bass formation emerges past the midpoint, meshing propulsion with atmospherics in a way that defines his electronic leanings\u2014patient, textured, and immersive without excess.<\/p>\n FENRA<\/strong> revealed: \u201c\u2018<\/em>DEEPCUT<\/em><\/strong>\u2019 opens with a skewed synth melody over strings and atmospheric textures, building tension slowly before revealing its full shape. It\u2019s one of the most energetic tracks on the EP, but I wanted it to take its time \u2014 the bassline doesn\u2019t arrive until almost three minutes in, when the track finally locks into place.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Stream \u2018DEEPCUT\u2019:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \n
