about

With all the energy of a handful of amphetamines but the careful deliberateness of a philosophy major, Foam Lake craft majestic rock songs that shimmer with hooks at every turn while still retaining the raw emotion at the heart of every great band. Their debut full-length, “Force and Matter” - a succinct 38 minute package of harmonic glory, burrows its way into your earhole and doesn’t let go.

Comprehending the importance of maximizing their dynamic range, the record swings from absolute thunder to quiet whisper at the drop of a hat. Eldest brother Paul Ross’ songwriting places melody at the forefront of the entire album, demonstrating the importance of knowing when less is more by abandoning frivolous embellishment and instead delivering only exactly enough of what is needed. Barrett’s sinewy bass lines anchor the songs with a nimble character, and Tyler’s drumming punctuates the songs by abandoning the straight backbeat in favour of inventive patterns that push and pull. With youngest brother Kalen adding the textural polish through synth and guitar parts, the songs are painted brilliantly with a fully balanced palette of musical colours. -Tyler Stewart (NXEW)
