Comments guitarist/drummer G. Schoinianakis on “A Day After,” “I consider myself quite lucky I had the chance and opportunity to travel the world. It wasn’t until 2016 that I saw these underweight children with torn clothes on a remote island somewhere in Indonesia. All these shattered homes, the dirt, the hunger. I cannot forget that boy’s eyes. I cannot forget how he was silently craving for his innocence. It made me think, ‘Where have I forgotten my innocence? Where did the child in me go?’ And there I was, a day after… or was it just yesterday?”
Föhn’s sound transcends traditional boundaries, rooted in funeral doom, drenched in atmosphere, and interwoven with elements of the avant-garde. Drawing from a breadth of influences such as Mournful Congregation, Esoteric, Swans, and Bohren & Der Club Of Gore, the result is a dense, achingly beautiful experience, steeped in the essence of midnight and the whispers of urban life. Their music evokes an enchanting hush, creating a haunting journey for the listener.
Recorded by Babis Tzanidakis and G. Schoinianakis at Timeless Recording Studios in Eleusis, Greece, and expertly mixed and mastered by Greg Chandler (Esoteric) at Priory Recording Studios in Birmingham, England, Condescending promises to deliver a cathartic journey of unparalleled depth and intensity. Föhn invites you to leave behind everything you once knew and immerse yourself in the embrace of this transformative musical voyage. Condescending will be released on White Vinyl 2xLP, digipak CD, MC, and digital formats.
