Coming out of Toronto, the enigmatic duo Oneo Fakind has been making a mark in the electronic music scene since their formation in 2017. With an experimental approach, producers Brett Cairns and Matt Legge have been crafting their unique sonic vision by fusing ambient and psychedelic electronica with elements of hip hop and trap.
In 2017, Oneo Fakind made a compelling entrance into the music scene with their debut album, Your Secrets are Safe With Us. This project, steeped in a frenzy of creativity, encouraged listeners to share their deepest secrets while immersing them in a sonic landscape that was as diverse as it was surprising. Their sophomore record the following year, Friendly Reality Ambush Squad, showcased a more complex and layered body of work, retaining the signature blend of disparate elements that meshed in unexpected and uplifting ways.
Dropping records three and four during the global pandemic in 2020, they’ve since released a string of singles and EPs. Now the duo presents their latest release, the brand new single titled “Five Months of Herself, Six Years Later.”
Across an expansive five minute soundscape, the duo serves up an immersive journey through an experimental electronic sphere. Opened by ominous synth tones and bass rumbles, the shuffle of drums adds a dark trip hop vibe as the composition slips into a moody sonic atmosphere full of twists and turns, wrapped in enveloping sound design.
Bold sliding bass notes underpin layers of winding synth textures as the intensity rises towards a high-octane mid section driven by furious drum beats and lofty electronic instrumentation. It’s an astonishing display of Oneo Fakind’s command of dynamic flow and reveals the depths of their creativity which continues to deliver musical experiences unlike any other.
Paired with the release is a music video directed and produced by Ali Razavi starring dancers Christina Kennedy and Steave A. Sidibe. The video follows the pair in the dimly lit and graffiti adorned area below a city overpass as they perform contemporary dance moves to reflect the avant-garde sonic experience of the track.
