Album 2016 on Etxe Records & Productions label
Rock and Blues (Folk Rock)
Themes of interpersonal relationships, gender roles, met and unmet expectations are explored throughout The Red Fetish’s 17th album overall and first for Etxe Records, “The Wind, As Now, Is Silent.” The DC-based band specializes in crafting spacious arrangements, providing the songs’ contents with room to breathe and flourish. Difficulties in forming intimate human connections while burdened by prescriptive gender roles are considered throughout the album. Still, much of the album’s uncomfortable subject matter takes the form of love songs, offering a paradox. credits released April 30, 2016 This album was made by Alejandro Castaño, Kris Kagei, Bryan McTiernan, Kai Filipczak and Daniel Suhre, with the help of Alison Lowell, Claire Blaustein, Faheem Moghal, and Kylene Kiang.
