NEW MUSIC: Fostercare – Low

Since the last post was ambient drone, this time a different sort of drone. The numbed menace of urban streets, from Fostercare (Marc Jason). The track offers distortion mixed with half-sung, half-spoken droned vocals that almost act as the track’s bass. Strings play in the background but without providing any comfort. A real grower.

And for anyone who reads the blurb below “eremitic” means reclusive or hermit-like, especially a religious recluse. Which might explain the angel in the picture.

Fostercare – Low

Blurb: Fostercare is the alias of Brooklynite Marc Jason. A short stint in London, late December 2010, saw him gain well-disposed attention from such tastemakers as Dazed & Confused, WORD Magazine, i:D and The Quietus, to name but a few. An eremitic perfectionist, Fostercare – who adopted his pseudonym from a Burial song – aims to carve a distinct niche between 80ies Dark Wave, 90ies dance music, Industrial and Crunk. What can initially sound like a confusing clash of genres makes complete sense on record, with Fostercare showcasing his yet undiscovered lyrical skills and distinct rapping style, to reveal a dark, disturbing world of pretence, sexual exploitation, violence and suicide, within the city of New York. Fostercare is set to refresh the dusty corners of electronic music.
