Foster explores the nature of faithlessness, ██│ sorrows and solitude while trying to find hopeful directions within the ██│ disorientation and the confusion brought about by grief. ██│ ██│ In the likes of Radiohead, Swans, Mogwai and Nick Cave, AHFÆs delicate ██│ and stormy musical journey embodies a singular mix of art rock, ██│ shoegaze, noise, psych and krautrock, and is defined by a blend of ██│ intimate voicing and introspective spoken poetry. It is an 8-track ██│ cinematic voyage that incarnates a distorted voice trying to make sense ██│ of its fading echoes, exuding the last pieces of its self-preservative ██│ make-believes, trying to hold onto the deceptive views of every ██│ shadowing ghosts reflections it is fighting to keep alive, in order to ██│ suppress the painful image of the person it might have become, freed ██│ from the distorted narrative it was bound to in order to avoid ██│ suffering any longer. ██│ ██│ Foster describes his first solo project as a contemplative and ██│ reflective landscape where purposelessness, vulnerability and disarray ██│ press for an honest examination of the true character of your personal ██│ spirituality, the distress of your lifeÆs failures and the everlasting ██│ sense of regret that keeps on blooming as you try to survive the ██│ implacable bewilderment of loss and the mourning reality of your own ██│ impermanent existence. ██│ ██│ ôFor years, IÆve been looking for deep personal emotions to be ██│ channeled within the safe and elusive context of a bandÆs dynamic, so I ██│ wouldnÆt have to be exposed through their real colors, wouldnÆt have to ██│ assume any intimate implication. I simply hid behind the thick curtain ██│ of distant screams and uprising noises. ItÆs only when my father passed ██│ and that I slowly started to work on the songs that would ultimately ██│ define the spirit of ôWindows in the Skyö that I had to admit that ██│ unless I would be willing to tear that bleak veil of fears down, I ██│ wouldnÆt be able to let any of those vivid emotions be, wouldnÆt be ██│ able to free them from my exultant struggle to stand into the lightà ██│ and therefore to have my depressive soul emancipated through the honest ██│ embracement of those hidden emotionsà one glimmer at the timeà which is ██│ exactly how the album would finally come to life.ö ██│ ██│ Entirely recorded in early 2018 at the Upper Room Studio û Your ██│ Favorite EnemiesÆ Catholic church turned professional recording studio ██│ facility û Foster invited his bandmates to contribute to the final ██│ stage of a few songsÆ musical arrangements as he concluded the albumÆs ██│ self-production. ██│ ██ │▓█ │▓█ │██│ ██│ URL: http://alexhenryfoster.com ██│ ██│     ██│        │██░  █▄     │██▓░        ▓███▄▄▄  ▐██▓     ░▓██▓ │▓█▀███▄▄▄░   ─────▐─────▐───▐─░▌───▄─────▐██▄──── ░▓████▀░ │█▀█▓▄▀▄▀▓▌█▀▓▄░  ─▄───│─────▌────▌─▐──▀▓▀───▐░▓▓███── ▓█▐▀▀▄▀▄ ▄ ░ ▌▐▌▀▓▓▀ ▀░ ▀▓▀──▌────▐─────▐─────────▐▓─────▐──  ▀ ▐▌▐ ▀▄▀▄▒░▓ ────▐─────├────▄█▌───────▄▌─────▐───  ░▒▄▀▄▀ ░ ▀▄▀▄ ─▄▄▄▌───▄▓▌───▐██▌──-███▄▌─────▐░───  ▄▀▄▀ ░ ▄ ▐▌▐▌ ███▓ ▐███░   ░▀▀▀▀  ▄▄▓▄▌  ▄   ▐▌▐▌ ▄ ▀▓▀ ▓▀▄▀       ▀▀▓  2 0 2 0    ▓ ▐███▓  ▀▓▀  ▀▄▀▄ ▀▓▀    ▐  ▓▓      ░▄
