Foxes by Faten Kanaan
Foxes is the third full-length album from Brooklyn-based artist Faten Kanaan.
The title is symbolic: an homage to the wild, untamed/unedited spirit. A balance between playfulness and nuanced intentionality. Foxes is loosely inspired by early Surrealist automatism, made-up languages, Middle-Eastern Hakawati storytellers, and the minimalist poignancy of mimes. Here, Faten uses sound as an intuitive gesture to tell a wordless story.
Released on vinyl by More Than Human Records

Composer Faten Kanaan uses counterpoint as a narrative tool to create music that is mysterious, smudgy, and deeply melodic. From the repetitive structures of modern minimalism and early music influences, to more languid textural ebbs & tides, there's a warmth in her use of synthesizers that gives her work a curiously timeless feel.
