Not exactly know for acoustic sounds, John Foxx has never let anyone define him as a strictly synthpop or new wave artist, and still see the veteran release a pure piano platter – well, almost pure, because there’s an electronic background on most of the eleven tracks – is rather surprising. Titled “Wherever You Are” and issued on March 28th, it’s a record of a domestic provenance, laid down after the Englishman’s rare concert appearance in October 2023 and exposing him in a reflective, soul-searching mode.
John doesn’t sing here – it’s a fully instrumental offering – yet Foxx’s patented melodicism is all over the album which defies any new age abstractness one might be inclined to find in his resonant passages. A deep work, befitting an artist celebrating the 45th anniversary of his solo career.
