Def.fo’s Debut Album, ‘Eternity’ Is A Captivating Blend of Psychedelia, Folk, and Trip-Hop
Step into the captivating realm of Eternity, def.fo‘s debut album that beckons you into a warm, heady, and intoxicating mix. Having reviewed his previous work, we knew this was going to be good. This sonic journey seamlessly blends swirling psychedelia, warm folk, and pin-sharp trip-hop, guiding you through the dark corridors and sun-kissed mornings of the albums songs.
At the core of Eternity lies a lyrical consciousness that delves into the vaults of the past and demanding urgent contemplation of the present. The album particularly does well to traverse a dynamic range, where delicately finger-picked acoustics intertwine with grand, sweeping strings and shimmering psychedelic guitars. The layers of harmony are pushing the songs into such a place where we found both listening and allowing subconscious listening both delivered different effects.
Eternity boasts esteemed guest vocal appearances from the legendary Michael Head (Shack, The Pale Fountains) and the keys of Chris Geddes (Belle and Sebastian), adding depth and dimension to this immersive soundscape. Crafted by the father-son duo of Tom and Steve Powell, with mixing by Roy Merchant and mastering by Howie Weinberg, ‘Eternity’ certainly builds on plenty of experience.
Now available on 180-gram yellow vinyl, CD, and digitally, Eternity invites you to join this timeless journey. It’s an exploration led by Tom Powell (def.fo) seeking understanding and connection through shared experiences. In every note, in every lyric, ‘Eternity’ stands as a testament to the evolution of Tom Powell’s artistic path. This debut promises to linger, a profound and definitive addition to his releases.
Eternity is available to stream now.
