Earlier this month, Animal Flag shared “Why,” the lead single from the Boston-based band’s upcoming new album Void Ripper. Today, they’re returning with another track from it, the searing six-minute-long “Fair.” The band use all of that expanded runtime wisely, tempering propulsive blasts of noise with twinkling guitars and a heavy bass line. The track’s epic construction mirrors the matters of faith that Matthew Politoski is grappling with here, namely how life’s many injustices can ever add up to a benevolent good. “Maybe God has a different view on what is fair,” he sings at one point.
