“The starlit nocturnes of Fovea Hex bind electronics, drones and voices into song-spells that are untimely in the best possible sense; their intimacy and raw emotional power feel centuries old, but the experimental sound-design can be shockingly modern.” Drew Daniels (Matmos)
The frequently claimed “impossible to categorise” tag applies well to Fovea Hex. The songs are dominated by a voice that’s too strong to be deigned ethereal, but remains too otherworldly to file alongside more conventional female singer-songwriters. The pace tends to be languid, the arrangements intricate and fragile. Comparisons have been made to This Mortal Coil, Emily Dickinson, Nico, Dead Can Dance, and even Schubert, but really this music is quite unique, a mix of electronic and acoustic sounds from a palette which ranges from state-of-art to ancient and arcane.
Une rencontre électronique ambiant au format chanson, une sensibilité à fleur de peau, des relents de chorales païennes, une musique atmosphérique aux basses profondes et aux envolées lyriques, avec des voix féminines qui enchanteront les amoureux de Cocteau Twins ou This Mortal Coil.
Fovea Hex est composé de Clodagh Simonds, Michael Begg, Colin Potter, Cora Venus Lunny et Kate Ellis, plus ici quelques invités.
