Foxtrott – Meditations I-II-III

Foxtrott’s series of EPs are out on CD and vinyl via One Little Indian Records.

Meditations I-II-III sees the inimitable producer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Foxtrott return to form, with rich, off-centre sounds, earthy beats and shimmering percussion. Each of the three self-produced EPs, released throughout 2018, explore the complex relationship between the inner life and the outer world. The musician developed these tracks during a solitary retreat to southwestern Mexico, even incorporating ambient sounds from her voyage into the music.

Having channeled fears, insecurities and assorted “twenty-something stuff” into her debut A Taller Us, Delorme found herself more confident, relaxed and open on Meditations I-II-III, a state of being that she really found herself embracing during her visit to Oaxaca, Mexico. “This is where I found the energy and the tone I wanted to capture for the EPs; the warmth, the sounds… It was a happy solitude, a sense of spiritual intimacy, from which I was observing and listening to the outside world. The birds, the animals, and the police sirens you hear ever so faintly on the tracks are from Oaxaca.”
