Cari amici a settembre 2013 il nostro brano “Gregorian Spring” è stato scelto per un video-spot per la Telekom Slovena. Attualmente stiamo lavorando ai brani del nuovo disco che ci piacerebbe fare uscire nel 2014. Per l’inverno abbiamo pensato di creare uno speciale packaging per chi ancora non avesse avuto modo di ascoltare le nostre cose e sostenerci.
Dear mates, today we have great news for everybody. First of all: in September 2013 our tune “Gregorian Spring” was chosen by Telekom Slovenia for their autumn advertising campaign. We’re actually working on a new release that we would like to put out in 2014. In the meantime we created a special winter packaging regarding our merch, so people can support us and listen to our stuff.

Ten years ago today The Ian Fays performed on a stage for the first time. Today we are thrilled to announce that the twin-fronted/San Francisco-based band celebrates this anniversary with a new album called The Most Spectacular Party. Eleven songs on which the sisters Elizabeth and Sara have been working for the past 3 years. With The Most Spectacular Party, the fragile and seductive twee vibe of The Ian Fays finds a new character: the low-fi and playful electronic sound of the beginnings, the one that went by the motto “broken casios, broken hearts”, becomes now an acoustic and more mature folk-pop that no longer fears to explore the darker and deeper sides. The collaboration with Kendra Lynn as a producer and engineer greatly influenced the shaping-up of the album during and after the recording sessions at Jackpot! recording studio in Portland, Oregon. While in studio, the songs were enriched with new arrangements, including slide guitar, percussion, trumpets and sitar. But the main focus, the core of the songs, were then and always are those persuasive voices, offered to the listener as a sincere, spontaneous and open feeling. Voices singing sad words but at the same time full of ardor, as if they were written on the fogged windows during a rainy day. The Most Spectacular Party is available digitally, on CD and on a beautiful transparent bottle-green 12″ vinyl packed in a colorful gate-fold, all artistically arranged by Margot Pandone.Dieci anni fa oggi, The Ian Fays salivano su di un palco per la prima volta. Oggi siamo felicissimi di annunciare che la band di San Francisco celebra questo anniversario con un nuovo album dal titolo The Most Spectacular Party. Undici canzoni su cui le gemelle ELizabeth e Sara hanno lavorato negli ultimi 3 anni. Dentro The Most Spectacular Party il fragile e seducente suono twee delle Ian Fays trova un nuovo carattere: l’elettronica giocattolo e lo-fi degli esordi, quella che aveva come motto “broken casios, broken hearts”, diventa un folk-pop acustico maturo, che non ha più timore di esplorare i propri lati più cupi e profondi. Merito del collaborazione in studio di registrazione con Kendra Lynn. Al Jackpot! Recording Studio di Portland, Oregon, le canzoni delle Ian Fays, si sono arricchite di nuovi arrangiamenti, tra slide guitar, percussioni, trombe e sitar. Ma al centro restano sempre quelle voci suadenti, un sentimento che si offre sincero, spontaneo e aperto, quelle parole tristi ma al tempo stesso piene di ardore, come se fossero scritte sui vetri appannati di un giorno di pioggia. The Most Spectacular Party è disponibile in versione digitale oltre che su CD e su un bellissimo vinile verde-bottiglia trasparente, il tutto racchiuso da un bellissimo lavoro grafico opera di Margot Pandone.

‘Captured Heart’ is the the first song we wrote for Earthbeat, we believe it gives the right ‘coordinates’ for an accurate reading of the album. In this song you can hear all the changes we went through the last couple of years. ‘Captured Heart’ is the summary, the one song that embraces the whole history of the album itself.
Be Forest talks with Sjimon Gompers – Impose Magazine – and share both the song ‘Captured Heart’ and their thoughts about their new album Earthbeat, which will be released on February 4, 2014.
