NEWS: Alex Henry Foster – In the Valley of the Sun (Writing Session)

Alex Henry Foster unveils his new single “In the Valley of the Sun (Writing Session)”, ahead of his co-headlining concert with MONO at Gloomaar Festival on November 15.

While the band is currently in the studio working on their next album, In the Valley of the Sun offers a sound infused with catharsis, layered with textured guitars, and offers a calmer sonic landscape than what the band usually delivers in concert.

The instrumental track remains faithful to the band’s experimental post-rock style, while hinting that they are working on new material that could be presented during their tour as early as November, in a much more dissonant live setting as Foster mentions:

“It’s been loud, noisy, and truly intentional in my studio recently, which is particularly galvanizing for me since I’m working on a surprising new creative project… Surprising because it wasn’t actually planned at first, and I saw its inspirational essence spark in my heart in such a way that it took precedence over everything I was foreseeing to immerse myself in at that point…”

While he already foresees the final stretch of his 2025 tour with high expectations, he shares: “Every concert will have a different set list, be very extensive, and will feature new songs for the first time as well. I can’t wait to be part of those upcoming celebrations of life, art, and community with you… All together as one.”

Music changed me — and still does.
I'm not particularly good at writing, nor do I know much about post-rock, so I’m not even sure what I’m doing here! 😅

Mostly enjoying melancholic music… I guess there is comfort in sadness for me. That probably made me the perfect target for post-rock when it found me. That said, I enjoy all kinds of music — especially soundtracks, shoegaze, and post-punk.

I’m constantly on the lookout for sounds that will blow my mind — that rare kind of feeling you don’t experience often in a lifetime… Falling in love with a new artist or a new sound... but when it happens, it's priceless.

That’s what happened to me with a few artists, including Alex Henry Foster, Emma Ruth Rundle, Loma, Oiseaux-Tempête, Fugazi, Switchfoot, and maybe a few more…
(Sorry Efrim, but I still love GY!BE 😉)
