If you’ve been sleeping on Artillery Saints, consider this your final warning. The one-man Ally McKenzie is back, and he’s not here to soothe your soul. The new single “A Flurry Of Furies” is a dense, cinematic slab of twisted pop that screams directly into the chaos of now.
First, who is this guy? Ally McKenzie is the entire engine behind Artillery Saints. Hailing from Aberdeen, Scotland, this isn’t some fresh-faced kid. He’s got history—in the ‘90s indie act Fly, later pivoted to electronic landscapes with Cities People And Parks, and after lockdown, he rediscovered the fire. Now, he’s a one-man army: writing, performing, and producing every single sound you hear. No band members to credit, no producer to thank. It’s all McKenzie.
This track was originally an instrumental, but McKenzie has reworked it with new lyrics that “reflect the times we’re living in.” This is music that stares down the violence, the moral cracks, and the sheer bedlam of our current moment. It’s a protest song without being preachy—it’s a feeling, a vibe, a gut-punch of sound.
This track is the focus single from the upcoming album “Glimpse” (dropped January 26, 2026), and if this is the tone-setter, we’re in for great stuff. The album promises to flip between satire, protest, and dark humour. If “A Flurry Of Furies” is any sign, McKenzie is using his sci-fi obsession to dissect parallel realities and our own screwed-up timeline.
“A Flurry Of Furies” is the sound of a sharp, literate mind weaponising pop to confront a fractured world. Artillery Saints is building a world, and with this track, he’s kicking the door in.
