Big Fox is the alias of Swedish chanteuse Charlotta Perers who just dropped her latest single The Fight via HYBRIS. It’s been 5 years since the singer released her album Now but Big Fox makes a welcome return with the new music. Teaming up with producer Tom Malmros for the single and upcoming album See How The Light Falls, the pair have crafted beautifully downtempo music showcasing poignant songwriting and a sound that’s hard to ignore.
Commenting on the new album, Perers has said, “To me, writing music is a way to slow things down. Everything moves so fast and when I’m writing a song it’s like freezing a moment. Create some space around the thoughts. See things in different lights. A song is like a secret space where you can say things that you don’t say anywhere else. Somehow I find it easier to be brutally honest there.”
She continues, “When I was writing this album, I was dealing with things that challenged my own image of myself and people around me. Questions that really don’t have any easy answers. I was thinking a lot about violence as a means to control a situation and its longterm consequences, or observing how empathy seems to adjust to whatever circumstances we’re in. What hit me the most, was how easy it is to get used to things if the shift happens slowly enough. How quickly we start to justify and defend our actions. So some of the songs were in one sense an attempt to reverse that process, to remember my first reaction. To remind myself of what I already know.”
