Album review: FEVER 333 – DARKER WHITE
Jason Aalon keeps fighting the good fight on FEVER 333’s overdue second album DARKER WHITE.
FEVER 333 released PRESENCE IS STRENGTH shortly after frontman Jason Aalon Butler released solo track Bulletproof.
Inglewood rap-rock outfit FEVER 333 took the world by storm with their outstanding, explosive debut album, STRENGTH IN NUMB333RS, last year, tackling social issues in unexpected and unflinching ways. Since then, frontman Jason Aalon Butler has been hard at work, releasing not one, but two tracks earlier this week. One of these, however, was a brand new FEVER 333 track, titled PRESENCE IS STRENGTH.

FEVER 333 started and finished PRESENCE IS STRENGTH in 24 hours, with the help of John Feldmann. Jason explained how the songs came together in an Instagram post.
“I’ve been working as hard as possible on being as creative, inspired, artistically courageous and as efficient as possible,” he wrote. “Yesterday I released two tracks I had a hand in making (solo + @fever333)- one of them was written recorded mixed mastered and released in 24 hours.”
“Due to the process, I feel they were more than just music,” he added. “I feel they exhibit the capabilities we have and what we can achieve even when it seems like something we can’t or even something we “shouldn’t”. The only way I could have accomplished getting these tracks out was to believe I could and that I should. So that’s what I did. I guess what I’m trying to say is- please do not allow these limiting constructs that have been put in place new you from at least fuckin trying to make shit happen. Create. Attempt. Dare. Risk. Whatever- we can do a lot more than they’ve led us to believe. Let’s do it. Whatever it is.”
Jason had released a more rap-leaning solo track, Bulletproof, the day before PRESENCE IS STRENGTH came out:
FEVER 333 also posted an Instagram story of what looks like Jason recording vocals with the words “#LETTHEMKNOW2020” and “LP2.” The hashtag #LETTHEMKNOW2020 was also used in the tweet promoting PRESENCE IS STRENGTH.
