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 Death Cab For Cutie The Blue EP Rock And Pop | Barsuk | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 6th September 2019 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Death Cab For Cutie The Blue EP £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Barsuk SKU: 075678651984 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 6th September 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View LNZNDRF II Rock And Pop | LNZNDRF | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 30th October 2020 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders LNZNDRF II £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: LNZNDRF SKU: LNZ002LP-C1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 30th October 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View New Bums Last Time I Saw Grace Rock And Pop | Drag City | 1LP Released 19th March 2021 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders New Bums Last Time I Saw Grace £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Drag City SKU: DC809 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th March 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dream Syndicate, The The Days of Wine & Roses Rock And Pop | Fire America | 2LP, Includes 7" Released 28th January 2022 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dream Syndicate, The The Days of Wine & Roses £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fire America SKU: FAMELP552 Formats: 2LP, Includes 7" Released Date: 28th January 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Flamin' Groovies Shake Some Action – Red Vinyl Rock And Pop | Four Men With Beards | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 10th August 2016 £32.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Flamin' Groovies Shake Some Action – Red Vinyl £32.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Four Men With Beards SKU: 4M5351LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 10th August 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Elton John The Captain And The Kid Rock And Pop | EMI | 1LP Released 9th September 2022 £33.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Elton John The Captain And The Kid £33.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: EMI SKU: 4505532 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 9th September 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Rolling Stones, The Let The Airwaves Flow Volume 6 (On Tour ’64) Rock And Pop | Rhythm & Blues | 1LP Released 16th July 2021 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Rolling Stones, The Let The Airwaves Flow Volume 6 (On Tour ’64) £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhythm & Blues SKU: RANDB72LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 16th July 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Smog Doctor Came At Dawn Rock And Pop | Drag City | 1LP Released 2nd April 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Smog Doctor Came At Dawn £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Drag City SKU: DC95 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd April 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Death In Vegas Scorpio Rising Electronica | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 11th December 2018 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Death In Vegas Scorpio Rising £24.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP2251C Formats: 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 11th December 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Voice Of The Beehive Let It Bee Rock And Pop | London Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 2nd December 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Voice Of The Beehive Let It Bee £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: London Records SKU: LMS5521766 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 2nd December 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
