Spiderwebs & Foam shows they’re carving their soundscape. With the new single “Fortune Cookies Sigh,” the band throws itself into the spotlight, mixing gritty vocals and thumping rock energy in a way that immediately grabs the ear. The track packs a punch right out of the proverbial gate. The singing is strong, often straddling haunting vulnerability and full-throttle grit. The delivery has an almost cinematic quality, as if every lyric was taken from a diary during a thunderstorm throw. You feel the ache, the defiance, and the longing stained in distortion and drive in your heart.

“Fortune Cookies Sigh” finds that deceptive balance of memories and newness. It gestures toward the golden age of alt-rock while sounding utterly new. The rhythm section is taut and driving, pushing the track ahead with a pulsing momentum, and the guitars are melodic but with an edge, adding emotion without overcomplicating the feeling. It’s a song that lives on its terms. Just the title is a litmus test. “Fortune Cookies Sigh” is a poetic, nearly playful phrase that encapsulates the song’s push and pull of irony and sincerity. It suggests the minor disappointments in life, the ones you laugh through but hurt you at your core. And Spiderwebs & Foam have figured out how to make that feeling sound anthemic.

Clocking in at just under four minutes, the track makes you want to hear more, and you hit repeat without even knowing you are doing it. It’s the song you put on during a late-night drive or crank in your headphones when you need to feel something real. “Fortune Cookies Sigh” is a declaration. This band is bold in getting loud, real, and leaning into emotion. And if this indicates what they’re up to, they’re a name to watch.
