“The effects are pulverizing on both a physical and emotional level, shaking not just the earth but also whatever may pass for souls.” – No Clean Singing

“A Day After” is the latest single from Athens, Greece-based avant-garde funeral doom trio, FÖHN. Now playing exclusively at No Clean Singing, the track comes off the band’s debut 2xLP, Condescending, set for release on August 23rd through Hypaethral Records in North America and These Hands Melt in Europe.

FÖHN’s sound transcends traditional boundaries, rooted in funeral doom, drenched in atmosphere, and interwoven with elements of the avant-garde. Drawing from a breadth of influences such as Mournful Congregation, Esoteric, Swans, and Bohren & Der Club Of Gore, the result is a dense, achingly beautiful experience, steeped in the essence of midnight and the whispers of urban life. Their music evokes an enchanting hush, creating a haunting journey for the listener.

Comments guitarist/drummer G. Schoinianakis on “A Day After,” “I consider myself quite lucky I had the chance and opportunity to travel the world. It wasn’t until 2016 that I saw these underweight children with torn clothes on a remote island somewhere in Indonesia. All these shattered homes, the dirt, the hunger. I cannot forget that boy’s eyes. I cannot forget how he was silently craving for his innocence. It made me think, ‘Where have I forgotten my innocence? Where did the child in me go?’ And there I was, a day after… or was it just yesterday?”

Adds No Clean Singing in part, “Its opening phase is pastoral and even cinematic, soft and spellbinding, but also haunting. Its gossamer lightness just makes the detonating heaviness of what comes next even more staggering. And stagger the music does, like the strides of a mile-high giant whose every slow step fractures mountains apart. As the drums methodically crack and boom, the chords reverberate on and on, drawing out their wrenching groans while shrill wailing tones also ethereally ring, and abyssal roars and stricken howls cast their own harrowing echoes…”
