The passionate, emotive “Orpheus and Eurydice” is a just-released track from Avenoir, a four-piece based in West Yorkshire. The more understated vocal delivery in the verses is complemented by fuzzy guitars, which build in intensity as the chorus approaches, where the vocals assume a more ferocious approach. A pleasantly melodic guitar solo takes hold at 02:38, capping off the hooky and passionate chorus with convincing appeal. Melding aspects of alternative with grunge, Avenoir produce a vein of emotional, melodic rock that should appeal to fans of both ’90s and contemporary rock alike.
