German heavy shoegaze trio Felt share new single & performance video with their crushing take on Alex Cameron’s »Miami Memory«

German heavy shoegaze trio Felt has released a performance video for their cover of Alex Cameron’s song »Miami Memory«.

The band comments: “We are way too freaking excited to share our new single »Miami Memory« with you.

About two years ago, in our small first rehearsal room, Hannah half-jokingly asked if we could cover this song. Because sometimes, you love a song so much, you just have to create with it.

What started as a lighthearted build on some original synth pop beats soon became one of our live staples. We completely transformed it, and it completely transformed us. During our recent time in the studio we were delighted to finally record this gem.

So here it is. Blast it. Scream it. Dance your heart our. And see you soon.”

FELT take »Miami Memory« and run it straight through the shoegaze grinder and it hits a nerve. The first single from their upcoming album Soil and Sky coming in Autumn this year strips Alex Cameron’s original down to its emotional core, then rebuilds it in waves of dense fuzz, shimmering reverb and crushing dynamics.

At the center is Hannah’s voice, ghostly, exposed, cutting through a towering wall of guitars that drifts between the haze of Slow Crush and the heavy pull of Deftones. The tension between fragility and force recalls Chelsea Wolfe at her most immersive, while flashes of melody break through like early The Smashing Pumpkins.

Recorded in Ghent, Belium, »Miami Memory« signals a shift for FELT: darker, heavier, and more uncompromising. A cover that doesn’t just reinterpret the original, it transforms it.
