Hailing from the birthplace of house in the United States' midwest, Fennec's compositions stand out from usual the sample based tracks these days. Classic but new, electronic but organic, beauty alongside grit -there are few artists in the electronic landscape able to bridge such divides and Fennec does so effortlessly, and with grace. At TYR we've been a fan since the Beloved EP (fennecsound.bandcamp.com/album/beloved) dropped a while back, so when we decided to start our label Fennec was one of the first we contacted. Pressure on A1 makes a grand opening statement, followed with the brooding but bumping Envy. On the B side, Damn showcases Fennecs talent for ear worm baselines, and lastly Cruise rounds it out with some sonic realness with a bit of a lean. It's been a pleasure getting to know Fennec and an honor to have this as our second release.

Seeing Matmos live in Houston in 2016 altered the way I think about what it is possible to accomplish while being alive. Seeing Drew perform solo in Chicago in 2021 taught me new ways to feel about the world I inhabit and music's place in it. Properly discussing music simply isn't a function language was designed to accomplish; music is too experiential. So sit down and experience the inner world of one of the most thoughtful artists of a generation. hold-no-carter
