Seattle band Foscil brews new-school quiet storm
Posted by Andrew Matson
"Ran" is the new song from Foscil, a band made from three-fourths of Seattle's best and brightest, Truckasauras, plus horn/woodwind player Anthony Moore. The song is a quiet storm groove, combining urban sophistication with subdued soulfulness.
It starts off like a Truckasauras tune—deep, slow, sad synths—then various rhythms combine, electronic and from a traditional drum set, and a muted trumpet lifts off with the song's melody. "Ran" is its own style of meditative jazz fusion, sweeping but reined-in.
Foscil plays Saturday, Nov. 21 at The Croc. Its album "Residential" isn't out until December, but luxuriously packaged vinyl is pre-selling via Journal of Popular Noise and pictured above.
