Career

[edit]

Foster was born in Montreal, Canada and moved around Montreal and its suburbs during his childhood.[25] After graduating from l'Université de Montréal as a social worker, he met Sef Lemelin with whom, along with Ben Lemelin and Miss Isabel, he started a band called The Riddlers, which became Your Favorite Enemies after Jeff Beaulieu and Charles "Moose" Allicie officially joined.[26]

Foster co-founded the record label Hopeful Tragedy Records which set their studios and headquarters in a former Catholic church in Drummondville, Quebec in 2009.[27] The facilities host music and multimedia studios, as well as The Fabrik, a creative group with spaces and equipments to screen-print, craft merchandising and press & cut vinyls on site.[28]

Following the loss of his father, Foster decided to leave for Tangier, Morocco in 2016, where he spent two years working on what has become his debut album Windows in the Sky, launching his solo career.[29] His entire band joined him to work on new musical projects, setting a professional music studio in the heart of Tangier.[30][31] He released Windows in the Sky on November 9, 2018, which was premiered in Tokyo, Japan, prior to its release.

In 2017, Foster released the book A Journey Beyond Ourselves, revisiting the story behind the making of Your Favorite Enemies' album "Tokyo Sessions".[32]

In 2018, Alex Henry Foster released his first solo album Windows in the Sky in Canada. It reached and remained at the top of the charts[33] for multiple weeks after its release.[34] In July 2019, he performed live for the first time as a solo act at the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal, and his album Windows in the Sky was nominated for "Anglophone Album of the Year" at ADISQ in the fall of the same year.[35]

In 2020, Alex Henry Foster and his band members "The Long Shadows" toured across Europe with ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, to critical acclaim.[36][37][38]

In January 2020, he released an EP and lyric video for the song "Summertime Departures", followed by the release of a videoclip featuring his live performance at his first ever concert at the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal in front of a sold out venue. In March 2020, he released the EP for the song "The Hunter (By the Seaside Window)" as well as a short film for the 15-minute song made in collaboration with French producer and friend Jessie Nottola, who also worked with Tinariwen, Tiken Jah Fakoly, Arthur H. This short film, in the likes of David Lynch, was filmed near Montreal, Canada and got more than 150,000 views on YouTube a few days after its release.[39]

On May 1, 2020, his album Windows in the Sky was released worldwide through a live concert from his studio-church broadcast on the online portal of the British Prog. It was preceded by the broadcast of a live rehearsal of Alex Henry Foster's band via ADISQ's portal, which had nominated his album in the category "Album of the Year - Anglophone" in 2019.[40]

On June 9, 2020, Alex and his bandmates broadcast a live performance of the song "Lavender Sky" from their studio-church, and cut it on vinyl, turning it into their first direct-to-vinyl creation, crafted in-house, in their own creative atelier.[41][42]

On June 26, 2020, Alex Henry Foster released a music video for the 4th single from his solo record Windows in the Sky, which was filmed in Iceland. The clip for the song "Lavender Sky" was premiered and acclaimed by BrooklynVegan:[43]

The video itself is no less cinematic, having been gorgeously filmed in Iceland and featuring high floating landscape shots that are peppered with grainy (stretched) super 8mm film shots and bit of handheld shaky cam moments. The photography is pristine, and like the music goes from feeling grounded on earth to soaring high above our heads.

The British magazine NME[44] qualified it as: "a cinematic new video and a dreamy blast of post-rock all about 'the acceptance of things we don't know and can't control'".

On August 7, 2020, Alex Henry Foster released the EP Snowflakes in July marking the end of the Windows in the Sky series. The EP consists of three versions of the song, one that was performed live from his studio-church and broadcast on BrooklynVegan on July 26, 2020.[45] The live performance of the song was also turned into a direct-to-vinyl crafted in Foster's independent record label's facilities.

On March 27, 2024, Foster announced the soundtrack project Kimiyo, released on April 26, 2024.[46] On the same day, the single "A Silent Stream" was made available.[47] This project includes the collaboration of the Japanese-Canadian artist Momoka Tobari and Ben Lemelin, Foster's longtime music collaborator and bandmate in Your Favorite Enemies and The Long Shadows. Kimiyo is part of a project called "Voyage à La Mer", inspired by a trip that Foster made to Japan in 2010 and is composed of nine tracks on which Momoka Tobari sings and recites spoken word in Japanese.[48]
