Track List
Illuminated with breathtaking vocals and uncanny poetics, ‘Goodness’ is an open, impressionistic assemblage of drone, ambient, experimental electronics, improvisational music and minimalist dance music.
Across protean forms and voices, feeo explores an ever-evolving counterpoint between connection and isolation, the city and the natural world, the external and the internal. Contrasting beauty with volatility, communion with disintegration, feeo creates an album of absorbing tension between distinct contrasts.
With eleven interconnected pieces of music, each engaged in symbiotic dialogue, ‘Goodness’ represents a sinuous yet uniform work. Each track is like a link in a chain, with each piece revealing its lustre when held up to the light.
feeo describes the album as “an exploration of simultaneous yet opposing states of being; darkness and lightness, obscurity and visibility and most fundamentally, solitude and togetherness. Each song is an adumbration; a partial sketch of one aspect of the LP - each finding its complete meaning when read in the context of the whole.”
Mirroring the push and pull of perception and contemporary experience, ‘Goodness’ oscillates between disparate moods and intensities, reflecting moments of interiority, intimacy, seclusion, collective experience and exterior turbulence.
‘Goodness’ marks an evolution in feeo’s artistic practice, both as her first full-length release, and as a product of wider collaboration after several years working independently. Welcoming close collaborators and select affiliates into the fold, the process of making ‘Goodness’ was very much like the record itself; a deeply personal, special convergence of expression and artistry.

『息をのむようなヴォーカルと不気味な詩学に照らされた「Goodness」は、ドローン、アンビエント、実験的エレクトロニクス、即興音楽、ミニマル・ダンス・ミュージックなどのオープンで印象主義的な集合体である。 変幻自在の形態と声によって、フィオは、つながりと孤立、都市と自然界、外部と内部の対位法を探求している。美しさと不安定さ、交感と崩壊を対比させながら、フィオは明確なコントラストが織り成す、吸い込まれるような緊張感のあるアルバムを創り上げた。 それぞれが共生的な対話を繰り広げながら、11の音楽がつながり合う「Goodness」は、しなやかでありながら統一感のある作品だ。各トラックは鎖の輪のようで、光にかざすとその輝きを見せる。 feeoは、このアルバムを「闇と明るさ、不明瞭さと可視性、そして最も根本的な孤独と一体感といった、同時でありながら相反する存在の状態の探求」と表現している。それぞれの曲は、LPのひとつの側面の部分的なスケッチであり、全体の文脈の中で読まれたとき、それぞれが完全な意味を見出す。" 知覚と現代的な経験の押し引きを反映するように、「Goodness」は、内面性、親密さ、隠遁、集団的な経験、外的な激動の瞬間を反映し、異質なムードと激しさの間を揺れ動く。 Goodness」は、フィオの芸術活動の進化を示すものであり、初のフルレングス・リリースであると同時に、数年間単独で活動してきた後の、より幅広いコラボレーションの成果でもある。親しいコラボレーターや選りすぐりの関係者を仲間に迎えた「Goodness」の制作過程は、このレコードそのものとよく似ており、表現と芸術性の深く個人的で特別な融合であった。 (auto-translated from information)』
