Canadian singer-songwriter and composer Alex Henry Foster sets himself apart with his intense, cinematic approach to alternative rock and post-rock.
After his work with post-hardcore band Your Favorite Enemies, Foster decided to into a more introspective direction. This resulted in his solo debut “Windows in the Sky” in 2018, which is a personal and emotional album that was received very well internationally. His music is characterized by long, extended compositions in which spoken words, melancholy melodies and atmospheric soundscapes come together. Themes like loss, mourning and existential reflection are at the core of his work, without any of these feeling like clichés.
