Cyrus Reynolds Teams Up With S. Carey Offers A Live Session Of The Single “Foraker”
CYRUS REYNOLDS X BON IVER MEMBER S. CAREY
FORAKER
Cyrus Reynolds invites Bon Iver member S. Carey for a live session version of their collaborative single “Foraker”. The track in itself, if you haven’t heard it yet, is a beautiful airy and melodic blend infusing a modern songwriting with an orchestra sound structure, creating as final result a cinematic ensemble that plunges in marvelous cozy universe. Also S. Carey’s lead performance is a tremendous pleasure that could soothe headaches. Indeed, this living room session was actually orchestrated in Los Angeles, through Swedish label Dumont Dumont.
Also, about the song, Cyrus shares:
“Foraker, at its heart, is a love letter to my wife, harpist Lara Somogyi, and set in the Denali region of Alaska through the eyes of a wayward traveler. There’s this deep connection with the heart of the glacier (Foraker) and the outdoors and he keeps coming back to this same place to look for something that’s actually inside himself. It’s a harkening back to why I write music, and a new sort of authenticity for me. Before I was writing, I was manipulating all of these live string sounds for Output, and crushing them until they hissed like a wind and knocked and scratched like low hanging branches. I started using these sweeping 808s that hit you in the gut like a mile of ice is cracking beneath your feet and slow melodic synths that boomed from the distance like fog horns. Once I had the initial sound design recorded, I had a world that inspired me to write these heartfelt lyrics to Lara and everything suddenly was coming out into the open and all of these emotions and layers I didn’t know were there. Those are really precious and sought after moments in songwriting for me. When everything just clicks and you can get straight the emotion and feeling.”
