ford. Reveals Album Release Date And Title Track ‘The Color Of Nothing’

When it comes to ford., there’s always a sacred aura surrounding his announcements. The wait of new music is always a kind of serene religious ritual that turns into sincere jubilation when the decisive moment arrives. In the past couple of days we’ve experienced one of these epiphanies, under the form of the disclose of the release date of his second album (October 16th via Foreign Family) and the publication of the title track: ‘The Color Of Nothing’. The song arrives after the atmospheric ‘Hold On’ featuring Ayelle and the stomping ‘Living, Breathing’ (both included in the LP) and stands right in between their two different moods. As the opening track, ‘The Color Of Nothing’ welcomes the listener with a mild arpeggio that slowly evolves into an instrumental ballad, flavored by calming chords and ford.’s signature groove and percussions. Echoed voices and melancholic synths come and go, following one another in a hypnotic flow rich of visions and suggestions. An oneiric journey where the listener is free to travel with their imagination and be inspired.

‘The Color Of Nothing’ comes alongside an exquisitely trippy music video directed by Kusanagi & Landis Tanaka and a very limited run of recycled merch. Check the full tracklist below, stream the song and pre-save the album on your favourite player here.

ford. sonn & Hanz Keep Us in ‘Good Company’

Despite the fact that I have got to know a lot of producers and artists during these years and their respective creative processes, sometimes, when I bump into some incredibly powerful pieces of art, I wonder how humans can create such beautiful things. Since I pretty much have zero creative skills (musically speaking) within me, at certain levels music really seems to me a magical matter that must be created in some mystical places or alternative dimension, and not in a physical studio. Hanz, ford. and sonn have always been among these wizard’s circle, and seeing them all together on a single project immediately foreshadowed an epiphany.

“Collaborations like this are what makes the indie electronic music scene such a positive place. When artists have the ability to express themselves through working with other artists, miracles like this happen.” Sometimes I think that I could compose entire write ups with the great comments I read online. This is exactly one of the cases where it wouldn’t be possible to find better words to explain the intrinsic value of this collaborative EP. Every single piece of the ‘Good Company’ is a little golden nuggets itself: the drum patterns in ‘Home’ and ‘Endsong,’ the chords in ‘U Stay,’ all details which don’t pass unnoticed and that I’d gladly put on loop for minutes and minutes. The track order is, in addition, the icing on the cake of the EP. The vibes rise and fall in a impeccable way thanks to a classy turnover of instrumental and vocal beats.

Big up to the Foreign Family Collective for giving sonn, Hanz and ford., the possibility to create this heavenly EP! You can enjoy ‘Good Company’ on SoundCloud below or on your favourite platform here

Ford. Crafts A Masterwork With Debut Album ‘(The) Evening’

Alessio Anesi — Mon, 26 Nov 2018 18:09:59 +0000

If Shakespeare’s ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’ had a soundtrack, it would be exactly this one. It’s not an overstatement, ‘(The) Evening’ is a masterwork, I’m not afraid to say it. It’s a flawless project that owns the colors and emotions of the sunsets, the magic of a reverie, the magnetism of a smile. While we couldn’t expect less from such a talent, I have to admit Ford. has exceeded any expectations with this album. ‘(The) Evening’ is a full package: there’s no filler tracks (not even the instrumental version of ‘Craving’), no purposeless interludes and not only is each one of the ten tracks remarkable by itself, but the story they create flows fluidly like poetry.

Rarely do I appreciated so much of the tracks’ disposition. While the instrumental ones tease our fantasies and imagination with amusing bright landscapes, the charming voices of Sarah Kinsley and Sophie Meyers burst into the story with perfect timing and, like the legendary sirens, seduce us listeners, making us loose ourselves in these enchanted views.

ford.’s Rise Continues With ‘Craving / Dusk’ Dual Release

Following Luc Bradford’s journey has been quite the trip. The young yet talented artist who produces under the moniker ford. has gone from having less than a thousand plays on his Spotify tracks to amassing hundreds of thousands of plays in only one year. His serene approach to production has finally earned the attention it deserves in terms of plays and recognition, and last week he announced that he signed to Odesza’s label Foreign Family Collective, which is no small feat.

The last month has surely been an adventure for the Utah-based musician, as he followed up his Sirens remix EP with an official remix for Bearson’s ‘Get Lost’ last week and a new dual single release Craving / Dusk yesterday on Foreign Family Collective. Doing what he does best, ford. takes Sarah Du’s soothing vocals and surrounds them in a heavenly soundscape in ‘Craving’, where he stays true to the signature he has developed and creates an air of emotions unlike any other producer. ‘Dusk’ further strengthens this uniqueness with an appeasing melody englobed by the static white-noise that immediately makes you think of ford., and continues the flow of emotions until the very end. The skilled artist’s shimmering production shines brighter than ever in his latest work.

Check out Craving / Dusk below and let us know what you think!
