The album, which has long since been out of print, was originally released in 2014 and garnered praise from the likes of Exclaim – “Music can be therapeutic, and Hildebrand’s music is a perfect example of this” and Stereogum – “gorgeously rendered dream-pop.” “Seven years ago, I reviewed Foxes in Fiction’s second album, ‘Ontario Gothic’, for my college newspaper and was justifiably effusive in my praise. Here was, in the year of our lord twenty-fourteen, the apogee of what pop taxonomists called ‘dream’ or ‘bedroom’ pop – the new altar at which devotees of the genre might worship. The record’s relative brevity – seven tracks; thirty-two minutes – belied the expansiveness, and the durability, of its sound. Meticulously built of lilting guitar loops, whorling synths, collages of field recordings and ethereal vocals that could have been beamed in from another place, it was a record that could only be fully appreciated through its repetition. Indeed, it seemed to offer something new with every listen. That is no less true now, on the eve of its overdue reissue, than it was upon its release: seven years have not dulled the accuracy of my initial assessment. “To name an album Ontario Gothic is to invite comparison to the ruined cathedrals and pewter twilight of a windswept moor (more Brontë than Bush) – and it seems apt because I have always imagined the music of Foxes in Fiction to exist in that liminal space between day and night, when the sunken feelings of the past rise up and their shadows grow long. This is music haunted by loss and burning with nostalgia; in lyric and sonic architecture, it mimics the press of human memory turning over and over. In the title track, Warren Hildebrand sings of being trapped in the past’s shadow, which reminds me of a line attributed to some Athenian general, though who said it doesn’t really matter, only that he said it, and what he said is this: ‘I remember even what I do not want to remember but am unable to forget what I want to forget.’ To truly forget is, of course, impossible, and often undesirable, because even an erasure leaves a smudge, indicates a presence, even when it references an absence – in this case, the absence of the loved one to whom Hildebrand dedicated the album. Intimations of catharsis, of release, do come – specifically, at the two minute, six second mark of the third song, ‘Glow (v079)’ and, later, at the one minute, twelve second mark of the final song, ‘Altars’ – as a holy rush of verdant sound. In those moments, peaks to which the entire record bend, Ontario Gothic exceeds the baroque taxonomies of pop to become something stranger, akin to a religious experience.” – Zachariah Webb Artist Foxes in Fiction Genre Rock And Pop Label Orchid Tapes Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings March 2011 Into the Fields Glow (v079) Shadow's Song Ontario Gothic Amanda Altars Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Bob Dylan Empire Burlesque Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 11th December 2015 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bob Dylan Empire Burlesque £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1570 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 11th December 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Joe Bonamassa Live At The Sydney Opera House Blues | Provogue | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 23rd November 2023 £15.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Joe Bonamassa Live At The Sydney Opera House £15.00 Genre: Blues Label: Provogue SKU: nn276597 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 23rd November 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Eagles, The Desperado Rock And Pop | Mobile Fidelity | SACD Released 30th November 2021 £45.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Eagles, The Desperado £45.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Mobile Fidelity SKU: UDSACD2230 Formats: SACD Released Date: 30th November 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Motley Crue The Greatest Hits Rock And Pop | Eleven Seven Music | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 5th December 2011 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Motley Crue The Greatest Hits £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Eleven Seven Music SKU: ESM388 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 5th December 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Fleetwood Mac Live Rock And Pop | Rhino | 180g, 2LP Released 25th June 2021 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fleetwood Mac Live £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino SKU: 0603497850907 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 25th June 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Men, The Immaculada Rock And Pop | Deranged Records | 1LP Released 17th December 2014 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Men, The Immaculada £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Deranged Records SKU: DY196LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 17th December 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sparkling This Is My Life / Das Ist Mein Leben / C’est Ma Vie Rock And Pop | Moshi Moshi | 12", EP/Mini Album, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 11th March 2022 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sparkling This Is My Life / Das Ist Mein Leben / C’est Ma Vie £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Moshi Moshi SKU: MOSHI483 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 11th March 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Olivia Jean Night Owl Rock And Pop | Third Man Records | 1LP Released 30th August 2019 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Olivia Jean Night Owl £15.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Third Man Records SKU: TMR631V Formats: 1LP Released Date: 30th August 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View M Ward Transfiguration Of Vincent Rock And Pop | Jealous Butcher | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 8th November 2019 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders M Ward Transfiguration Of Vincent £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Jealous Butcher SKU: LPJBR0070LE Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 8th November 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ray LaMontagne Gossip In The Grain Rock And Pop | RCA | 2LP Released 5th November 2008 £39.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ray LaMontagne Gossip In The Grain £39.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: RCA SKU: ARCA32670 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 5th November 2008 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
