Pete Fij Practices Espionage with “Cuckoo” – Music Review

Pete Fij calls himself a "Cold War kid" – and honestly? His obsession with espionage runs deeper than most hobbies. It’s basically taken over his entire artistic vision at this point.

"Cuckoo," his newest track, weaves together synth-heavy soundscapes with personal family stories and nods to David Leitch’s Atomic Blonde from 2017. The lyrics are packed with scrambled spy terminology that creates its own cryptic language as the song unfolds.

Each listen reveals hidden layers you probably missed before.

The black-and-white music video hits different. Picture this: a shot of whiskey sliding across polished teak in some dimly-lit cocktail lounge – that’s the exact vibe we’re talking about here. Simple yet devastatingly cool.

Remember when Pete was with Adorable? Well, his solo journey’s been absolutely electric so far. Three singles in, and each one showcases a completely different side of his personality.
