Sarah Neufeld / Richard Reed Parry / Rebecca Foon: First Sounds OUT NOW
DEBUT 2xLP ALBUM OUT NOVEMBER 01, 2024
Sarah Neufeld / Richard Reed Parry / Rebecca Foon’s debut album First Sounds has been described as, “The imagery that is conjured up oftentimes feels like it’s straight out of a fantasy, with fog sweeping over hills in the early morning. The trio’s talent with their instruments is pushed to the limit on these songs, with Foon’s cello playing shining on the last track ‘Georgia’, adding an eerie undertone that strikes deep in the heart, the slowness increasing that deeply soulful and slightly off-putting tone. - Northern Transmissions
First Sounds is like many before it, a product and project of the global COVID pandemic. Sarah, Richard, and Rebecca, who are normally accustomed to touring the globe, were suddenly grounded in Montreal. As a result, they started spending time together in the very place the friends initially met over two decades ago, this triggered a variety of memories— “it is as though we are watching our earlier years on replay (the places we used to hang out, the people we used to know), while simultaneously living in the present day.”
This feeling of jumping across timelines led the trio of friends to examine the various ways their lives and relationships have changed over the years and these very discussions have served as a catalyst for their creative process. Throughout our writing and production period, we weaved in and represented these central themes in our playing— through our arrangements, dynamics, and song titles.
First Sounds is out via Envision Records in North America, and through One Little Independent for the UK and the rest of the world.
