“Fellup” is a standout track from Dogmile, reminiscent of later-era Radiohead in its artful fusing of trickling guitars, atmospheric synths, and foreboding vocal intensity. A sturdy percussive element lingers throughout, while various elements prove dynamic in their incorporation — particularly the synths, which develop from an initially subdued eerie buzzing into a final minute of flourishing effervescence, which melds with spine-tingling impact alongside dexterous acoustics and a now-soaring vocal composure. Described as “a summer song with a bleaker subject matter,” “Fellup” has us firmly anticipating whatever’s next from Dogmile.
