ABOUT THIS ITEM

Foe, carrying a sense of unease and paranoia, is 45 minutes of music both complex and complete. Their aptitude for digital processing adds an edge to the flickering fuzz on the likes of ‘Clipped Wings’ and the title track, while ‘Migrating Clay Pigeon’ suggests a 2K11 reshaping of My Bloody Valentine. Joyous arpeggios lend ‘Puppets’ and ‘Inflammable Heart’ an anthemic quality that you can’t help but think, would sound pretty astonishing booming out into an arena’s rafters. ‘Ebb & Flow’ is hermetic beats’n’glitches, then a frothing dancefloor chorus, and back and forth – it’s a time-honoured sonic tactic, but it’s very effective.
