Fovea Hex are one of the most intriguing phenomena in contemporary music. This album comprises eight beautifully crafted songs and three short instrumentals that build on the fusion of formal composition, cutting edge ambient sound art, incomparable song writing skill, with Clodagh Simonds's emotionally rich and evocative vocals.
A core ensemble of Simonds, Laura Sheeran, Cora Venus Lunny, Michael Begg (Human Greed) and Colin Potter (Monos, Nurse With Wound) are variously joined, replaced, augmented and superimposed by visitations from Brian Eno, Julia Kent (Antony and the Johnsons), Andrew Liles (Current 93 / Nurse With Wound), John Contreras, Kate Ellis, members of Larsen, and "friends who would prefer to remain nameless". Generously proportioned and sonically mesmerizing soundscapes.
Presented in a stunning matt laminate / spot-varnished digipak with 8-page lyric booklet.
