Selected Classics

by FOANS

Alec Pritchard (Avenue Red) This album blew me away, one of the finest finds of summer 2023! The terminal track, Technique Of The Descent is a minimalist, sleek groove with shimmering crystalline arpeggios dancing around stripped back micro house beats with melodic lofi touches, as true elegance is on display in the intricate arrangement and pacing of the track. The subtle human feel in the distortions and other strange organic sound signatures help keep the elements glued and add dynamism to the sound design. Clever+cool! Favorite track: Technique Of The Descent.

about

Selected Classics presents a crucially curated cross section of Colorado producer Andrew Dahabrah aka FOANS’ finest work, sourced from a nearly six-hour self-released vault of tracks posted to his Bandcamp in 2018. Simply called Classics, the sprawling 100-song digital collection was intended as the project’s final offering – a comprehensive culling of the hard drive, after which there’d be “no looking back.”

Fortunately minds have changed, and FOANS remains extant, but an air of finality and desperation still haunts these tracks, born of bruised emotions and the burnout of working seven days a week “in the middle of nowhere” as an electrician in isolated oil fields. It’s music of hidden hours and private survival, slipstreaming through sleek cybernetic house, gauzy matrix ambience, low-slung dusty jack, and woozy fractal techno. Placeless and weightless, heady and kinetic, Selected Classics distills Dahabrah’s sidewinding inner vision to its swooning fiber optic essence.
