Cyprus-based rock outfit, The smallest Creature returns with a fuzz-soaked grunge number that delves into the menacing grip of devotion, longing, and nostalgia in their latest single ‘Queen’. Following the anthemic rock track ‘What Color Is the Rain’ released this past May, the band’s latest offering is a spellbinding sonic propulsion of intoxicating rock energy, fueled by electrifying guitar lines and cast in an avant sense.

‘Queen’ tells of the bewildering and lugubrious turn nostalgia can take, laying bare the internal conflict between progress for the future and succumbing to the seductive allure of past memories. The band break through the conflict with a heaving undercurrent of head-spinning textures culminating in the outro’s blistering guitar solo. The track is accompanied by a lyric video that portrays the turmoil with visions of queens and hearts morphing from one to the other.

Along with an upcoming organ version of ‘What Color Is the Rain’ set for release in late summer, ‘Queen’ is part of a constellation of singles showcasing The smallest Creature veering into a provocatively explorative pop sensibility in a flippant response to humanity’s stupor and entanglement with nuisance, aggression, and disillusionment. The first traces of this new collection of songs were born out of the initial vacuum of the pandemic, when sounds of nature and the universe were unrestrained through the lockdown. ‘What Color Is the Rain’ features a marching beat to champion cosmic harmony and is coupled with a tranquil lyric video.
