Australian trio F Ingers, consisting of Carla dal Forno, Samuel Karmel, and Tarquin Manek, presents a mesmerizing and haunting album with “Hide Before Dinner.” The release showcases a deep exploration of childhood memories, evoking a sense of nostalgia and introspection reminiscent of Leyland Kirby’s work as The Caretaker. The result is an intoxicating blend of enervated electronics, eerie folk-inspired vocals, and meticulously crafted collages that leave a profound psychedelic impact.
“Hide Before Dinner” delves into the familiar experience of looking back on challenging times with a peculiar sense of affectionate haziness. F Ingers masterfully combines Tarquin’s distinct and intriguing electronic soundscapes, as demonstrated in his LST release ‘Th Duo,’ with the ethereal and otherworldly qualities found in their Tarcar project. Their own personal psyche, intertwined with threads of torment and introspection, weaves throughout the album like a silver trail connecting them to their formative years.
Described by the label as a “relatable suburban gothic,” the album invites listeners to delve into the dissonant sensations of tracks like “Tantrum Time” or immerse themselves in the murky depths of “Useless Treasure.” It’s an invitation to embrace and explore the enigmatic and imperfect nature of childhood recollections, drawing upon one’s own half-remembered moments.
“Hide Before Dinner” by F Ingers is a stone-cold classic that captivates listeners with its unsettling yet alluring sonic tapestry. The trio’s ability to conjure vivid and atmospheric soundscapes makes this album a must-listen for those seeking a deeply introspective and immersive musical experience.
