MONTREAL, OCTOBER 2025 – Over the past year, Alex Henry Foster has reached remarkable milestones with his ongoing High Blooming Ritual tour, which has already seen sold-out & low tickets shows, solidifying his place as one of the most compelling voices in today’s independent music scene. He now announces the release of his new single, In the Valley of the Sun (Writing Session).

His recent releases earned multiple ADISQ nominations, including recognition for Kimiyo (2024) and A Measure of Shape and Sounds (2024), while his latest live album, A Nightfall Ritual, debuted on the Billboard charts upon its release in April 2025 and was nominated for Post-Rock Album of the Year at GAMIQ.

While the band is currently in the studio working on their next album, In the Valley of the Sun offers a sound infused with catharsis, layered with textured guitars, and offers a calmer sonic landscape than what the band usually delivers in concert.

The instrumental track remains faithful to the band’s experimental post-rock style, while hinting that they are working on new material that could be presented during their tour as early as November, in a much more dissonant live setting as Foster mentions:

"It’s been loud, noisy, and truly intentional in my studio recently, which is particularly galvanizing for me since I’m working on a surprising new creative project… Surprising because it wasn’t actually planned at first, and I saw its inspirational essence spark in my heart in such a way that it took precedence over everything I was foreseeing to immerse myself in at that point…"

While he already foresees the final stretch of his 2025 tour with high expectations, he shares: "Every concert will have a different set list, be very extensive, and will feature new songs for the first time as well. I can't wait to be part of those upcoming celebrations of life, art, and community with you… All together as one."

With several sold-out shows and few tickets remaining, now is the perfect time for fans to book their spots before it’s too late and be part of these unforgettable nights, featuring performances of new, unreleased songs.
UPCOMING CONCERTS:
Nov. 12 - Utrecht (NL) @ De Helling
Nov. 13 - Breda (NL) @ Mezz LOW TICKETS
Nov. 14 - Cologne (DE) @ Yard Club SOLD OUT
Nov. 15 - Neunkirchen (DE) @ Gloomaar Festival

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.
