Two Danes and a Norwegian comprise the Aarhus based Foyn Trio!, but their sound speaks to the wider creative energies of many young musicians across Scandinavia today. Pivoting on the voice of Live Foyn Friis, here is soulful, unhurried music that speaks for itself in an impressionistic spacewhere categorization seems especially futile.
Guitarist Alex Jønsson and bassist Jens Madsen are primarily concerned with texture, painting in loops and colours and their own voices, adding to the music’s panoramic feel. It’s a beautiful frame for the star attraction; Live Foyn Friis’ ethereal, bittersweet, occasionally Bjorkesque delivery, a voice you’d be happy to hear anywhere.
