██│ ôWindows in the Skyö is the first solo album from Alex Henry Foster,
██│ lead singer and songwriter for the Juno Awards nominee post-rock band
██│ Your Favorite Enemies.
██│
██│ Written between Tangier and Montreal, ôWindows in the Skyö has been
██│ crafted in a fragile state of emotional isolation following the passing
██│ of his father, a devoted believer to whom he was estranged, after a
██│ long battle with cancer. Foster explores the nature of faithlessness,
██│ sorrows and solitude while trying to find hopeful directions within the
██│ disorientation and the confusion brought about by grief.
██│
██│ In the likes of Radiohead, Swans, Mogwai and Nick Cave, AHFÆs delicate
██│ and stormy musical journey embodies a singular mix of art rock,
██│ shoegaze, noise, psych and krautrock, and is defined by a blend of
██│ intimate voicing and introspective spoken poetry. It is an 8-track
██│ cinematic voyage that incarnates a distorted voice trying to make sense
██│ of its fading echoes, exuding the last pieces of its self-preservative
██│ make-believes, trying to hold onto the deceptive views of every
██│ shadowing ghosts reflections it is fighting to keep alive, in order to
██│ suppress the painful image of the person it might have become, freed
██│ from the distorted narrative it was bound to in order to avoid
██│ suffering any longer.
██│
██│ Foster describes his first solo project as a contemplative and
██│ reflective landscape where purposelessness, vulnerability and disarray
██│ press for an honest examination of the true character of your personal
██│ spirituality, the distress of your lifeÆs failures and the everlasting
██│ sense of regret that keeps on blooming as you try to survive the
██│ implacable bewilderment of loss and the mourning reality of your own
██│ impermanent existence.
██│
██│ ôFor years, IÆve been looking for deep personal emotions to be
██│ channeled within the safe and elusive context of a bandÆs dynamic, so I
██│ wouldnÆt have to be exposed through their real colors, wouldnÆt have to
██│ assume any intimate implication. I simply hid behind the thick curtain
██│ of distant screams and uprising noises. ItÆs only when my father passed
██│ and that I slowly started to work on the songs that would ultimately
██│ define the spirit of ôWindows in the Skyö that I had to admit that
██│ unless I would be willing to tear that bleak veil of fears down, I
██│ wouldnÆt be able to let any of those vivid emotions be, wouldnÆt be
██│ able to free them from my exultant struggle to stand into the lightà
██│ and therefore to have my depressive soul emancipated through the honest
██│ embracement of those hidden emotionsà one glimmer at the timeà which is
██│ exactly how the album would finally come to life.ö
██│
██│ Entirely recorded in early 2018 at the Upper Room Studio û Your
██│ Favorite EnemiesÆ Catholic church turned professional recording studio
██│ facility û Foster invited his bandmates to contribute to the final
██│ stage of a few songsÆ musical arrangements as he concluded the albumÆs
██│ self-production.
