Everything Will Grow Again

Description

Six years separate him from the global success of La Lune Rousse, from his first EPs with oriental influences and from those jerky, lively voices that shaped Fakear’s “signature sound.” A new vibe floats over EWGA, his fourth full-length album, whose first single, 'Carrie,' was released on April 17th. Fakear merges styles with a new depth, extending a hand to Mount Kimbie, Floating Points, and Jon Hopkins, and playing with the sonic accidents of his modular synthesizers. The installation he has planned for his live performances, a mix of LEDs, machines, and totems, replaces his previous concert format where he was surrounded by musicians. This is a way to return to a solo, more club-oriented approach, which illustrates the crossroads Fakear finds himself at with *Everything Will Grow Again*. As the title suggests, the album evokes an almost post-apocalyptic hope: that no matter the events or suffering, everything renews itself, evolves, and finds balance again.
