‘Summertime Departures / Sometimes I Dream’ by Alex Henry Foster

Windows in the Sky is the first solo album from Alex Henry Foster, lead singer and songwriter for the Juno Awards nominee post-rock band Your Favorite Enemies.

Written between Tangier and Montreal, the album is an intimate poetry essay about finding peace, faith and hope through the context of grief, depression, and distress. It has been crafted in a fragile state of emotional isolation following the passing of his father, a devoted believer to whom he was estranged, after a long battle with cancer.

In the likes of Radiohead, Swans, Mogwai and Nick Cave, Alex Henry Foster’s 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 the first project to be released within a new partnership venture established between his label Hopeful Tragedy Records and Sony Music Entertainment / The Orchard and ended up being #3 in the Canadian Billboard Charts on the first week of its release, right behind Muse and Imagine Dragons, also reaching #1 for several weeks after selling more than 15.000 albums.
