Get lost with Fool's "Hiss Garden for a Lily Face" EP

We're excited to reveal to you the new EP from Fool, the cryptic and atmospheric musical project that has a home on Toronto underground rock label Art of the Uncarved Block. Who is Fool? What motivates them through the murk and distortion? I can't say, but their work follows a trail cut by the likes of low-fi iconoclasts Daniel Higgs, Smog, and Jandek. You can listen to Fool's "Hiss Garden for a Lily Face" below or pick it up from the label at Bandcamp.

Fool provided us with a statement on the new EP, but I doubt it'll clear much up:

Even a fool can be tormented by the loneliness and boredom of their solitary existence so in order to flourish a violent division begins birthing a curiosity of divine proportion it inhales and gusts igniting a once emaciated ember it is here waiting cradled in a bed of tinder ready to form a long awaited dawn for the shadow laden fool so that in light the words are found to fill the sky they gaze upon to its brim so that they let their descending notes rise and rain down nourishing the earth they borrow from so that they finally grasp the myriad hands of creation and never let go again
