They are back!!
Ottawa’s Fevers released the music video for I’m Coming.
It is taken from their second full-length album, Apologia that drops on July 7, 2017.
“Having already put Canada’s capital on the independent electronic music scene with their debut album, ‘No Room For Light’ (2013), Ottawa band FEVERS hope to break new ground with their eagerly anticipated sophomore LP Apologia. Helped along by the inspired mixing of Grammy-nominated Damian Taylor (Björk, Austra, Braids)2, Apologia offers bigger beats, brighter synths and soaring vocals from Sarah Bradley.”
The video is the brainchild of Ottawa motion graphics artist Will Reid, imagining a retro-futurist world enveloping front-woman, Sarah Bradley.

Catch FEVERS live at Ottawa Bluesfest on July 12th
