Cardiff’s FoxSleep to release new single “Fordone” on 3rd July via Recordiau Pob Lwc

A crafter of jazz-tinged indie-folk and alt-rock, Cardiff’s FoxSleep (aka Jason Morgan)  will release his new single “Fordone” on 3rd July via Recordiau Pob Lwc.  

With live acoustic shows showcasing his intuitive songwriting and ear for the jazzier  corners of a melody, FoxSleep’s recorded work demonstrates his aptitude for instrumentation and arrangement. Driven by a gnarled bassline evoking the Knight  Rider theme and drums approaching hard rock, Fordone’s blend of acoustic clatter  and fizzing electric guitars provides the foundation for vocal melodies that wind  around moments of folk, alt-rock and jazz, while violins provide complementary  drone, orchestral uplift and harmony. 

The song’s take on the consequences of excess moves between candid and  deliberately exaggerated: “It’s a song about the things I should do less of,” explains  Jason, “bad habits often excused as harmless or normalised as socially acceptable – I can’t decide if I’m worrying over nothing, however, it keeps me awake sometimes.”  

Continuing a semi-DIY approach with both self-recorded and remotely performed  components, Fordone is the first of a trio of singles scheduled for 2023, mixed by  Todd Campbell (of Stompbox Studios and Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons). The accompanying artwork by Newport’s George Goom reflects a running conceptual theme of being gradually taken apart. 

Under embargo until 3rd July 2023 

Following 3 successful DIY EPs, FoxSleep’s 2022 single What It Always Comes Back  To received multiple plays on BBC Wales Introducing and was described by Circuit  Sweet as an "anthemic piece of the highest quality… as intense as it is uplifting."  

FoxSleep has performed at well establish venues and festivals such as Swansea’s  Bunkhouse, Cardiff’s Hub Festival and Clwb Ifor Bach, and Newport’s Le Pub, recently supporting acts such as Ynys, HMS Morris, Apollo Ghosts and Taff Rapids.
