Yorkshire songwriter and artist Gideon Foster explores the depths of human complexity and spiritual connection, with the poetic and musically enchanting new single Come The Rain.
Breathy paired vocals blend a sort of Folk-intimacy with a more intense electronic overtone, throughout the rising energy and weight of Come The Rain. Unconfined by genre, the song is both familiar and unpredictable, progressing throughout a relentless kick-drum rhythm and an array of cascading vocals that again blend the familiar and the unknown.
Lines like ‘See how they run’ and ‘My kingdom come’ resound to intrigue and offer a thread of recognition, or some sort of rope to hang on to, as the rest of Gideon’s lyrics proceed to intrigue and enthral in a whole other way.
Ultimately a kind of alternative folk style with powerful production and traits of distorted rock during the final quarter, Gideon Foster’s Come the Rain is a deeply thoughtful, unafraid account of personal contemplation relating to the illusions of control we hold on to in life. The concept is bittersweet in essence, and the music maintains that feeling throughout its artistic fusion of melancholy and uplift.
Brilliantly unique, gripping, and a fine introduction to a songwriter who hopefully continues to push the creative boat out in a fearless and genuine way.
