FJORD REVEAL NEW TRACK “IF I WAS TO CALL”ย
SHALLOW WATERS EP COMING OUT ON JANUARY 25
FJORD, Quebecโs dynamic and multi-faceted, electronic duo comprised of Thomas Casault + Louis-รtienne Santais have reveal another new track, โIf I Was To Callโ.
The swirling track evolved from โa simple chord progression played on a Rhodes in a dusty suburban basement in Quรฉbec City,โ recallsย Louis-รtienne Santais. Transplanted to London, UK to work more on the EP, โproducer Tim Bran (Bloc Party, London Grammar, Halsey) who co-produced the record with us, gave it a little bit of an โ80โs power ballad feel, but without the cheese that usually comes with that genre. Itโs our personal favourite and preferably enjoyed with a glass of red wine.โ
The duoโs forthcoming Shallow Waters EP will independently released on January 25, 2019. It will include โIf I Was To Callโ as well as previously shared single โLay Down Your Veilโ released last month. Fjord received significant media praise to their 2016 EP Textures, now at over 15 million streams and applauded by the likes of Fader + NME and with feature track, โI Get It Nowโ streamed as one of the top 50 Indie songs in Canada; Fjord were earmarked as an artist to watch by Apple Music, Spotify and Buzzfeed.
If Textures served to expand Fjord beyond Quรฉbec City, Shallow Waters seems to serve as the pathway to global. Incubated in Quebec City over 2017 and finalized / produced in London, UK over a three-week period with Tim Bran, Fjord then took the final arrangements for the six-track Shallow Waters to receive string treatments from the Quebec Symphonic Orchestra.
And in bridging the connection from their home base to beyond, if feeding your musical mind wasnโt enough, Thomas Casault, the singer of Fjord, is the restaurateur and owner of two successful Japanese restaurants in Quebec City,ย Sushibox andย Hono Izakaya.
Fjord has only two shows with Milk & Bone left on the itinerary to play this week. Additional live dates for early 2019 will be announced soon.
