Quebec’s orchestral post-rock songwriter, Alex Henry Foster, releases a lot of music and can definitely fall under the category of “prolific.” This year alone he has released two full-length albums, Kimiyo (which we interviewed him about here) and A Measure of Shapes and Sounds.
He is now rounding out the year with his third release, the EP, A Whispering Moment, featuring one new song, the title track, and three versions of a live fan favourite “Shadows of Our Evening Tides.”
The track has had many different incarnations but also features the words from the American poet and writer, Allen Ginsburg, before unleashing into full post-rock fury.
Along with the release comes a live rendition video of Alex Henry Foster and his band playing the track at the Brückenfestival in Nürnberg, Germany. The video feels more like a play than a song, with theatrical imagery and Alex Henry Foster commanding his band and the crowd from the stage.
