- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
Soaring swells of strings come to the forefront, providing effortless
counterpoint to striking vocal melodies and varied instrumentation in the
fourth release of San Francisco via Albuquerque indie pop outfit Foma.
With Inverness, Foma departs from the story telling format of 2006Æs Phobos,
but maintains the bandÆs strongly motif driven approach to album making.
Largely overlooked by the ôindieö mainstream, the truly independent Foma
seems to adhere to a hesitant, but relentless, exploration of frustration,
regret, and death in its lyrical expressions. Yet, FomaÆs music tends to
leave the listener with a strange sense of hope.
Careful arrangements define Inverness, a long overdue album that proves Foma
is band that continues to mature. There is a tension, often subtle, in FomaÆs
music, and one would do him or herself a favor by giving it more than a
cursory listen.
