Forenzics – Premiere Fois: 13th Floor New Song Of The Day

0

Forenzics are Tim Finn and Eddie Raynor and here they are with their second single, Premiere Fois, from their upcoming album, Shades And Echoes.

ForenzicsIn case you’ve forgotten, Forenzics is the new project of old friends Tim Finn and Eddie Raynor, both members of Split Enz. For a little bit more background into ‘Forenzics’ and their upcoming debut album, SHADES AND ECHOES (set to release February 4th, 2022). Please see the below:

  • The Forenzics debut album SHADES AND ECHOES sees two artistic endeavours meet in the middle. The idea had been percolating in Tim’s mind for many years, since 1976, in fact, when Brian Eno visited a recording session of Split Enz’s SECOND THOUGHTS album at Basing Street Studios in London, where Eno’s Roxy Music bandmate Phil Manzanera was in the producer’s chair. Listening to a section of the Enz song ‘Walking Down A Road’, Eno declared “that was the best bit, and you should just develop that”.
  • More than 40 years later, Tim suggested to Eddie they try it: write a brand-new song over a section of one of their older ones. A little like an artist painting over one canvas to create another.
  • Delving into the rich potpourri of sounds and ideas the early Enz songs contain – Tim and Eddie have sourced some ‘shades’ and ‘echoes’ to construct some of the new Forenzics songs. In the case of ‘Chances Are’ – Enz trainspotters might hear a hint of ‘Spellbound’ – a brilliant song by Tim and former Enz luminary Phil Judd first heard on their ‘Mental Notes’ album released in 1975.
  • The Forenzics repertoire, like paintings in an exhibition, is an album of individual works that together form an immersive and cohesive whole. It is a genuine sabbatical journey into the artistic unknown, mapped out by two artists at the height of their creative powers.
