Feral Business Unleashes Wild Energy with Debut Album NEDOMESTICIT

Feral Business, the electrifying electronic rock project from Northern Arizona, has made their mark on the alternative music scene with their debut album, NEDOMESTICIT. A genre-blending powerhouse, this record defies conventional boundaries, combining elements of Alt-Rock, Dance, Electronic, Goth, and Darkwave to create a visceral, energetic sound that’s both haunting and exhilarating.

Released under 1st Drop Music, NEDOMESTICIT cements the fact that Feral Business is unafraid to take risks, delivering a sound that’s as raw and unfiltered as its title suggests.

A Sound That Defies Domestication

From the very first track, NEDOMESTICIT pulls listeners into a world of feral energy and unrelenting rhythm. The album is a bold statement of independence and creativity, refusing to conform to mainstream expectations. It’s heavy on synthesizers and guitar-driven melodies, with danceable drums and post-punk influences that give it a unique edge. Scrambling genres from goth rock, to edm, to darkwave and hip-hop it is untamed and wild!

Feral Business draws clear inspiration from legends like David Bowie, Bauhaus, LCD Soundsystem, and Boy Harsher, but their sound remains uniquely their own. Tracks like Firebrand showcase a blend of bluesy basslines, hip-hop-inspired rhythms, and raw alt-rock vocals, while songs like Circle Eyes dive deep into alternative rap-rock territory. This fearless experimentation makes the album a must-listen for fans of genre-defying music.

The actual full list of musicians who make up Feral Business is a mystery, but it is obvious that many tracks include production and writing from DJ/Producer Bear Cole, and guest appearances by horror themed producer Michael Patrick Ceol and MC and Lyricist Bear the Astronot.

Move That Skeleton

The album is full of tracks to highlight, but Move That Skeleton is the defining track from their first full length release. Released for Halloween 2024 and as the last single for the album release Move That Skeleton is an absolute stand out track. A strangely danceable horror themed track influenced by Danny Elfman, Bear McCreary, and Tim Burton. Folding that cinematic musical influence into a dark rock / electronic dance floor killer!

Track Highlights

1. Firebrand

With its thundering bass, rumbling drums, and feral energy, Firebrand captures the raw essence of rebellion. This track blends alt-rock, blues, and hip-hop influences, delivering a powerful message about breaking free from societal constraints.

2. Spell Is Undone

A standout track on the album, Spell Is Undone drives home the alt-rock roots of Feral Business. Combining heavy distorted guitars with piercing edm like synths on a danceable classic.

3. My Cocoon

This track leans heavily into Dance Rock, featuring infectious rhythms and haunting melodies. It’s a prime example of the band’s ability to create music that’s both danceable and deeply introspective.

4. Bubbly Champagne

A tongue-in-cheek critique of modern culture, Bubbly Champagne mixes EDM, goth, and house elements into a dark, dance-filled anthem. The track’s biting social commentary pairs perfectly with its pulsating beat.

4. Eat Shit & Die

A much more mellow and melodic ballad, Eat Shit & Die has a beautiful sound, but lyrically is about walking out on a shitty job, and an even shittier boss. Melodic guitars, and atmospheric synths and samples blend together on this song influenced by The Smiths and Cocteau Twins.

5. Sugar Cubes

A full encapsulation of the Feral Business sound this highly energetic pulsing song about Absinth and Debauchery is sure to make you scream and dance!

Themes and Message

NEDOMESTICIT isn’t just an album—it’s a manifesto. The title itself, a clever play on the idea of being “undomesticated,” reflects the band’s refusal to be tamed by expectations. The lyrics delve into themes of rebellion, societal critique, and self-liberation, all delivered with Feral Business’s signature blend of sarcasm and sincerity.

The album also explores the darker sides of life, relationships, and culture, with a sense of humor that keeps the mood from becoming overly heavy. It’s cynical yet fun, haunting yet energetic—a perfect tongue in cheek reflection of the human experience.

A Debut That Stands Out

Feral Business has already gained recognition in the alternative music scene, and NEDOMESTICIT is sure to solidify their reputation as innovators. The album is as much a celebration of music’s past as it is a look toward its future, blending post-punk aesthetics, modern dance grooves, and electronic experimentation into a cohesive and compelling package.

Critical Acclaim and Fan Buzz

Since its release, NEDOMESTICIT has garnered praise from critics and fans alike. Many have highlighted the band’s ability to create a sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Fans have taken to social media to share their favorite tracks, calling the album “a feral masterpiece” and “a genre-bending thrill ride.”

Feral Business’s debut album, NEDOMESTICIT, is a bold and unforgettable entry into the alternative music world. With its innovative sound, fearless experimentation, and rebellious spirit, the album is a must-listen for anyone seeking music that breaks free from the norm.

Whether you’re a fan of Alt-Rock, Darkwave, or Dance Music, NEDOMESTICIT has something to offer. Stream it now on your favorite platform, and experience the wild, untamed energy of Feral Business.
