The Erly, a Michigan-based indie band, has recently released their latest single “Flame The Main” on September 20th. This upbeat track is the fourth single to be dropped from the band’s highly anticipated album titled “Culture Fever,” which is scheduled to be released on November 3, 2023. Fans can look forward to an accompanying music video for “Flame The Main” in the upcoming months, which will serve as a teaser of the band’s upcoming album. The Erly is known for their unique blend of disco-infused sounds and visually captivating storytelling, and with this latest release, they are set to set the stage on fire.
The music echoes through the deserted streets at 4 a.m. like a vintage Cadillac rumbling down Main Street, capturing the essence of a bygone era. The sonic landscape mirrors the atmosphere of a riverboat casino, with lyrics that echo the voices of enigmatic characters entangled in dubious ambitions and vices. “Flame The Main” is a vivid narrative crafted by the band, delving into the turbulent life of someone thrust into a world of chaos, leading to a cascade of self-destructive behaviors. Themes of evasion, substance abuse, the relentless pursuit of intangible dreams, and a pervasive sense of insecurity all find their place in this riveting new rock track.
The Erly combines sonic elements from the ‘60s and ‘70s Rock, Pop, and Funk, creating a fresh “Modern Disco” sound and vibe of their own. The quartet’s music features clean guitar work, layered vocals, and groovy undertones that energize even their most solemn-sounding tracks. The band is composed of Drummer Fran Gleason, Bassist Collin Mattiford, Guitarist Trevor McDonald, and Keyboardist Alyssa Serviss, with all four members featured on vocals. The Erly was created in 2018 when Mattiford and Gleason decided to expand upon their pre-established musical duo. Since their formation, The Erly has released two full albums and four singles, with more music on the way. “Paralyzed” dropped mid-August, and “Flame The Main” is slated to launch on September 20th, both of which will be featured within The Erly’s upcoming record, Culture Fever, available on November 3rd, 2023.
