MONTREAL, March 2025 – Captured during Alex Henry Foster's concert in Cologne, Germany, on July 27, 2024, the 4 songs (2 of which have never been released before) evoke those confusing sensations that come with finding oneself in an uncanny form of emotional suspension, where time seems to be floating between its own auspicious maelstrom and dystopian reality, vacillating through peaceful calm and raging let go.

About the album, Foster says:

A Nightfall Ritual refers to every moment with which we define the nature of our faith and hopelessness in the colors of mornings to come.


The album sees Foster and his Shadows display their rich, multi-layered wall of sounds with all the passion and mastery they’re now well-known for, defined by a vivid dramatic honesty that comes with the singer’s comeback into the lights after surviving an emergency heart surgery necessitating a double graft two years ago.

A Nightfall Ritual promises a devotionally intense and sonically rich universe for Alex Henry Foster's long-awaited upcoming album, due this fall.


The new single I'm Afraid is out this Friday, March 21, via Hopeful Tragedy Records.

ALEX HENRY FOSTER BIO

Alex Henry Foster (AHF) is a Canadian musician, author, producer, and composer, formerly the frontman for Juno Awards nominee post-rock/noise band Your Favorite Enemies (YFE).

Hailed as an “unforeseen DIY artist” by Rolling Stone Magazine, Alex Henry Foster released his first solo album, “Windows in the Sky”, in Canada in 2018 and globally in 2020. Mostly written during an exile from himself in Tangier following his father’s passing, “Windows in the Sky” is a “dreamy blast of post-rock” (NME) that “brings to my mind artists like Hammock and Asche & Spencer, with heaping helpings of Mogwai and Explosions in the Sky” (BrooklynVegan).

Fierce human rights advocate, Foster has been a very active public speaker over the last decade, commenting on racism, the proliferation of street gangs – in the midst of which he spent his teenage years — the resurgence of populism and extremism. He teamed up with Amnesty International and War Child for several campaigns initiating sensibilization awareness towards children soldiers and also created The Hope Project following the Tohoku Tsunami of 2011.

Foster spent 2024 touring Europe and America around the release of two albums and an EP. He just came back from Tangier, Morocco, where he spent 4 months working on an upcoming release.
