Dazzling in its range of lush, emotional acoustics and fervent rock theatrics, “Fever Dream” is a standout single from biz. The artist, born and raised in California, conjures artful momentum throughout the track — presenting an initially serene folk-set introspection that glides into an anthemic rock tour-de-force, then finding a middle ground aesthetically through the ensuing verses. The result is a thrilling success.
“It’s just a fever dream,” biz’s vocals let out during the frolicking initial serenity, which blasts off into a grungy alt-rock ardor as distorted guitars take strong hold. “Climbing up the walls,” the vocals continue in the verses, with static-building momentum conveyed lyrically and via the cohesive balancing of acoustics and electric guitars. The “fever dream” segment returns with a more impassioned rock edge, venturing seamlessly with melodic, dynamic prowess. “Fever Dream” is an enveloping success from biz, the alias of writer, creative director, audio engineer, and visual artist Lizzie Scott.
