fera – riddance

Rising alternative artist fera has announced her debut EP, riddance, arriving December 1st via question culture.

Alongside the announcement, she shares her new single “come undone,” a dynamic, emotionally charged track that pairs her honeyed vocals with intricate guitar work, atmospheric melodies and bursts of heavier alternative rock.

Moving between the hazy textures of shoegaze, the winding guitar lines of math rock and the darker edges of alternative metal, “come undone” is a study in contrasts. Delicate, almost weightless moments give way to distorted riffs and pounding drums, while fera’s soft, soulful delivery cuts through the shifting production. Beneath it all is an equally restless internal dialogue about vulnerability, romantic uncertainty and the anxiety of wanting someone who won’t quite let you in.

“‘come undone’ is an inner conversation I had with myself while dating an avoidant,” fera shares. “I had so many questions about what was appropriate to feel and how intensely honest I should be with this very non-expressive person who I wanted to like me so badly. I didn’t want to risk allowing myself to be vulnerable and reveal the truth of my anxiety if it was just going to scare him away. So instead of asking him, I wrote a song.”

She continues, “It was one of those songs that kind of came to me in a big wave. I wrote it all in one sitting and recorded it shortly after, and my team and I all loved it too much to just throw it in with the other singles I was releasing.”

The single offers a first glimpse into riddance, a project that finds the 24-year-old artist embracing the full range of her musical instincts. Blurring the lines between metal, shoegaze, indie and alternative rock, the forthcoming EP builds on the momentum of her viral 2025 single “nauseous,” further establishing fera as an emerging voice with little interest in being confined to one sound.

Adding to an exciting close to the year, fera will join Thundercat as support on select dates of his upcoming tour, with performances scheduled throughout November and a December 5 show in Los Angeles. The run will give audiences a chance to experience her genre-fluid sound live ahead of and following the release of riddance.
