1) Fingers Cross - Early Birth 

  

Shoegaze always has a new transformation, from the way to create the sound or to perform it as the years go by. One of a kind is the Idolgaze group from Thailand, Fingers Cross that combined shoegazing sound and their beautiful performances. Even they're not the first idol group that has a shoegaze/dreamy concept around the idol scene, Fingers Cross still has a special spotlight for it. 6 tracks inside their debut EP being a long beautiful journey for Fingers Cross. All songs are related to the band's concept, Keep Your Fingers Cross, which is a prayer for good luck. Not only focused on Shoegaze, but Fingers Cross also has a wide variety for their music. This is not just the 'genre' only that we talk about, but every story and content inside Fingers Cross songs. Fingers Cross songs inside 'Early Birth' have different stories about the struggle for living around the society and government until romance lives. From the 'Election' song that tells about the country's hopeful election at that time, 'Fight For the Future' is a song that Fingers Cross wrote to protest in Thailand Demonstrators were attacked and harassed by the government. Song 'The Flash' that also being Fingers Cross official 1st single release, talks about something holding them from moving... more credits releases January 1, 2022
