Fcukers - Ö
Nothing about the album asks permission: it wants a dancefloor, a crowd and a slightly irresponsible amount of volume.
Fcukers treat the dancefloor as a living organism. It pulses, lunges, sweats a little, then demands another round. Their debut album ‘Ö’ grabs that energy and flings it straight into your speakers. The New York duo keep everything punchy and immediate; hooks slam into club beats while Shanny Wise prowls through the tracks with mischievous authority.
The record grew from a two-week studio sprint, and that urgency runs through every corner. Songs dart forward, rhythms snap into place, choruses burst through the door with total confidence. Nothing lingers longer than necessary. Every moment pushes the next one forward.
New York looms over the album. The music struts with downtown swagger, pulling from 90s house and early-2000s club music while keeping the mood playful rather than po-faced. Confidence Man hover in the same club-pop orbit; move their party to downtown Manhattan and it might start to resemble this.
‘L.U.C.K.Y’ locks into a hypnotic chant that burrows straight into the brain (seriously, good luck shaking it). ‘Play Me’ and 'I Like It Like That' prove just as dangerous, earwormy highlights that snap into place and stay there with stubborn enthusiasm.
Across ‘Ö’, Fcukers chase one goal: momentum. Beats bounce, synths snap, vocals strut across the rhythm with gleeful attitude. Nothing about the album asks permission: it wants a dancefloor, a crowd and a slightly irresponsible amount of volume.
Club records can easily drift into self-serious territory. ‘Ö’ charges the opposite direction, grinning the whole way. Play it once, and suddenly the living room starts behaving suspiciously like a nightclub. Entirely accidental, of course.
