Search - Fe :: The War Of Art

Jonan Hinder s of Audionom fame spreads his wings with his ode to 80 s synth rock, which he delivers with a swinging punch. Fé, the name given to the latest project from this Swedish icon shows his love for bands like The Cure, Joy Division and Sonic Youth. The name of the album The War of Art is a inversion of something very familiar to us. The music behaves the same way by being transformed into something that sounds fresh and new. There is a feeling of being submerged by waves of overlapping synthesizers and minimal bass guiding you through its electricity. The sound is refreshing with its heavy dance inducing tracks like Heaven & Earth and Pleasure Island . There is the dual experience of slow and fast, pulsing away within the body like a puppet being tugged on by many elastic strings. There is much more than simply the music that Johan begs you to pay attention to; there is his dual identity as Fé his inner fem. With a close death experience when he was 7, Johan technically died for a brief moment and when he awoke felt the presence of what he believes to be a sister like entity. He evokes this spirit when he writes. When he performs, it materializes.
