Albuquerque's Faith In Foxholes, the extremely introspective project spearheaded by Lucas Floyd, is back with a gut-wrenching single that holds no punches regarding emotional weight. "Just Gimme One More," the new single from the newly released album "Zander & the Blue Things," is a quietly devastating trek into the darkness of loss, anxiety, and the human aching for connection.
Lucas Floyd, the self-proclaimed underdog of his college music department, runs off the energy of his outsider status to fuel his creativity. With trembling, intimate vocals that waver from vulnerable to defiant and a sound that marries somber acoustic textures with gritty indie rawness, "Just Gimme One More" is a midnight confession set to melody.
Instead of cowering behind the production sheen, Floyd turns things down a notch. The result is a tune that sounds like it's being whispered directly into your ear. What's so glorious about this cut isn't really about its flawless creation but its inherent nakedness. It's the song that gets attention by being genuine.
One of the core songs on "Zander & the Blue Things," a record that treats one sad anecdote like one part of a concept album, "Just Gimme One More," functions as an emotional anchor to help set the tone for an album that was written under tragedy, yet abundantly accessible. It's catharsis and a release of pent-up energy. And in a music business that is often superficial, Faith in Foxholes dares to go deeper.
For fans of musicians who wear their hearts not just on their sleeves but etched into every chord, "Just Gimme One More" is a gut-punch of an album. Lucas Floyd may have come in last, but with music like this, he's in it for the long haul and winning it.
