"When Canadian band Foxwarren released its self-titled debut album in 2018, it won a Juno Award for alternative album of the year. Frontman Andy Shauf continued his solo career, band members moved to different cities, and then the pandemic made it impossible for Foxwarren to get together to record in the same room as they had for their first record."
"The album is full of experimentation, particularly with samples, and the band talks about how they had to get creative to translate those ideas into a live show now that they're back together and performing again. This episode of World Cafe was produced and edited by Kimberly Junod. Our digital producer is Miguel Perez. World Cafe's engineer is Chris Williams. Our programming and booking coordinator is Chelsea Johnson and our line producer is Will Loftus."
Foxwarren's self-titled debut album won the Juno Award for alternative album of the year in 2018. The band paused activity as frontman Andy Shauf pursued a solo career and members relocated. The pandemic prevented the group from recording together in the same room. Remote collaboration opened new creative possibilities and resulted in a new album titled 2. The album features extensive experimentation, especially with samples. The band developed solutions to translate sample-based and experimental studio ideas into arrangements suitable for live performance after reuniting and resuming shows. Track highlights include "Say It," "Sleeping," "Listen2me," and "Deadhead."
