Album Notes

Foma formed in albuquerque, nm in january 2002 by ex Derelectrics Edward Burch and Jon Gaiser. Along with Heather Trost on Cello and Audrey McKewen on keyboard and vocals, the band made a quick impact on the local music scene. the self-recorded and self released a self titled ten song cd with a lot of help from alex rose, and from stepbridge studios in the mastering department. the cd was released when the band opened for juliana hatfield on her stop through town. Shortly after, jon and audrey departed albuquerque and the band. after much shuffling of drummers and female singers, foma found Ariel Muniz to play bass and sing, and Heath "Testy Kool" Dauberman on Drums. This signified the most creative period with much instrument switching between heather and ariel. With the help of Heath's Little Kiss studios, Foma recorded and released the scared ep. With this and a west coast tour under their belt, Foma is confident and plans to continue writing social commentary in the form of music for as many people to hear as possible. they hope to have a brand new full length out real soon.

REVIEWS

Consistent, mature, tasteful
author: South Of Mainstream
Consistent, mature, tasteful (they end with a cover of the Velvet Underground’s "After Hours"). These musicians share an artistic concept and are working together to successfully share it with their audience. They’re not afraid to experiment with outrageous instruments, weird noises and euphonic cacophony. Except they pull it off in a beautiful way, where other bands probably would not. Like Sonic Youth, they don’t have to sound like anyone or anything, but you can hear that they already do. They have a sense of history, which they clue us into with their choice of a cover song. They’re high on love, powered by knowledge, and graced with meditation—all of which you can clearly hear between the notes.
