Fjer – Beautiful Home [EP]
Shortly before the release of 2013’s A New Start, Fjer was boarding in a Brooklyn brownstone owned by a 90-year old woman. It was there that she became inspired to build a floor by floor portrait of a home and the stories of chaos, love and loss contained within the walls.
Beyond producing her own work, Fjer further sets herself apart from her electro-soul contemporaries by building the foundation of the record atop emotive piano & string ballads to go with the booming retro-flavored 808s and modern chill-wave soundscapes. Sampling a plethora of household sounds and noises, Beautiful Home draws you into its atmospheric narrative the second you press play. The artistic growth on display from her first release is fully on display here.
