Sarah Neufeld / Richard Reed Parry / Rebecca Foon - First Sounds: 2LP VINYL - PREORDER

First Sounds is like many before it, a product and project of the global COVID pandemic. Sarah, Richard, and Rebecca, who are normally accustomed to touring the globe, were suddenly grounded in Montreal. As a result, they started spending time together in the very place the friends initially met over two decades ago, this triggered a variety of memories— “it is as though we are watching our earlier years on replay (the places we used to hang out, the people we used to know), while simultaneously living in the present day.”

This feeling of jumping across timelines led the trio of friends to examine the various ways their lives and relationships have changed over the years and these very discussions have served as a catalyst for their creative process. Throughout our writing and production period, we weaved in and represented these central themes in our playing— through our arrangements, dynamics, and song titles.
