about

Feon returns with a second EP, perfecting his psychedelic sound. He says -

'The Light’ is a continuation of the theme of sun worship from the last EP. The sun, or light can be seen as symbolic of the light of conscious awareness, and has been used as such by human cultures throughout the ages, from the earliest hunter gatherers right up to the present day. But of course, where there is light there is also darkness, as all that is light emerges from the primordial darkness, the eternal emptiness or non-being, that which preceded the creation of our own universe. This darkness finds its corollary in the human unconscious, which on the personal level contains our own repressed emotions, and on the deeper collective level is the dark chaotic source of all that is creative in humanity. This collective level is connected to our "primitive" and animal evolutionary past, and as such contains much wisdom that we, in modern times, have lost. Hence the second track ‘The Wisdom Of The Animal’, which is a more hypnotic, physical track, and an intentionally evocative sonic call to access your own animal, physical selves and the bodily wisdom that is contained within that experience. On ‘Gotta Slay’ I perform an extract from a James Massiah poem called ‘Functioning’ which I came across at an art show exploring mental health amongst the creative community. With a repetitive acid line, 808s and bongos, I have repurposed it for a smoky and sweaty basement. After all that darkness there is ‘Risin’, with a sample from Faust and my own singing, there comes some kind of salvation.
