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.
