an indie rock spark lit by change and courage

brand new me arrives with the feeling of a window being thrown open. fencah steps out from behind the drumkit and into the light with a track that turns restlessness into momentum. it feels energised, honest, and quietly defiant, the sound of someone finally choosing the life they want rather than the one they have been tolerating. as a friend of the blog, it is a joy to hear him push forward with something so open hearted.

based in lower austria, max zauner shapes a sound that leans into indie rock grit with a sentimental bedroom pop warmth. the guitars drive with earthy confidence, thanks to rené nesyba and michael gansberger, while johannes schweiger’s floating keys add a soft lift that makes the track feel wider. producing and mixing everything himself at artig recordings, fencah keeps the edges raw but intentional, giving the song a grounded, personal charge. his vocal carries a sense of clarity and renewal, shaped by a period of feeling stuck and the decision to leave stability behind to follow music fully. the result is a track that feels lived in yet hopeful.

released ahead of his upcoming album small room, full heart, brand new me stands as a declaration. it is bold, warm, and full of motion.

thank u for making this fencah ⭐
