Temperature Falls – Cut The Wire (2020)

If you are in need of some inspiration and a morale boost, ‘Cut The Wire’ by Temperature Falls might just be what you are looking for. This groovy single continues to hit you with the energetic sounds the band showcased in their last release ‘Don’t Think I’m Shallow’. Looking at how much you would do to survive, this song leads you to that final point when you feel that you cannot take anymore. If you are already there, you will get that final boost you need to see things through.

This Norwegian duo combines energy and more subtle elements to captivate you. The different layers of this single highlight the eclectic soundscape of the band while leaving you feeling uplifted. If you could not get enough of their last single, you are going to be swept away by this one.



‘Cut The Wire’ gets you into the groovy vibes from the very start. There are these synth notes that worm their way into your ears and get you moving to their beat. The energy of this track is subtle and understated. Instead of an intense sound wall, you are lowly built up and infused with the band’s energy. There are slower moments in the melody that make you pause much like when you are pushing through things and feel you have hit a rut.

Camilla’s vocals on this song have an airy feeling to them as her performance floats above the melody. The shuffling and groovy beats weave together below her performance to create a melodic rope that ensnares you. While her vocals are airy, they draw you into the lyrics that work through all the emotions you have when a situation gets to be too much. However, there is an uplifting message and tone to the track that makes you feel like you can soldier on.



If the music itself does not draw you in, the music video will. There is an interesting mixture of medical visuals and freeing imagery such as swimming in the ocean. This is interspersed with Camilla singing to the camera. The blend of visual imagery enhances the message of the track in this amazing visceral way.

Temperature Falls continues to uplift with their strong messaged and groovy single ‘Cut The Wire’. The single hits you with some gentle grooves before you are swept up in Camilla’s vocals. The music video for the track also transports you into the message of the song.
