This week’s must-hear songs of the week includes Montreal composer Alex Henry Foster, dream-pop band Ghostly Kisses and a Quebec rap benefit song for Palestine.
Alex Henry Foster, “A Silent Stream”
This Montreal-based rock musician, producer and composer’s first single from his upcoming album Kimiyo, out on April 26 features vocalist Momoka, who sings and narrates Alex Henry Foster’s contemplative lyrics in Japanese. “I wanted Momoka to make her own interpretation of the lyrical undercurrent and to express herself in her native tongue,” Foster explains. Over eight and a half minutes, he sets her voice amidst lush washes of keyboards and strings, creating a compellingly cinematic sound. Foster earned international acclaim and a Juno nomination as leader of the prog-inclined Your Favorite Enemies, and has since moved into post-rock territory as a solo artist. He has been very prolific of late, making a film, Voyage à la Mer, and another album, A Measure of Space and Sounds, all expected to appear in 2024. Foster and his band The Long Shadows play four European festivals this summer.
