It\u2019s said that people ultimately find a home where they feel understood amongst loved ones. \u2018Where,\u2019 specifically, is not important. The place can be anywhere in the world if a deep feeling of understanding and acceptance is there. This search for a feeling of belonging is one explored on the 12 tracks of Fye & Fennek\u2019s album, \u2018Separate Together.\u2019 In their first two singles, \u2018Places\u2019 and \u2018Miles Davis,\u2019 duo FYE & FENNEK convey this longing for home in their videos within the context of a young female couple who fall in love. Taking place in Hanoi, Vietnam, the main character is caught between two worlds; a world where her parents strictly enforce traditional values, and the world she has broken into through exposure to western culture. Perhaps most of all, she\u2019s torn because she has discovered her attraction for other women and understands that this would not be tolerated by her parents. She chooses to follow her heart, anyways, and for a moment, feels incredibly free.<\/p>\n

Moving away from the euphoria of night in \u2018Places,\u2019 the video begins with daylight lingering on the young couple\u2019s shared bed as if to expose the \u201creal life\u201d elements that were formally hidden. Scenes of the couple display an undeniable distance in their intimacy \u00ad\u2010a coming together that previously seemed to hold all of life\u2019s answers and yet now represents a feeling of empty promises. Indeed it becomes clear that no matter with whom, or where you settle, you find peace first within yourself. \u201cIt\u2019s really about independence and freedom and the feeling of distance within intimacy,\u201d explains frontwoman FYE.<\/p>\n Distance in intimacy is a red thread throughout FYE & FENNEK\u2019s album, \u2018Separate Together.\u2019 Fye\u2019s emotional narratives are delivered by unabashed, textured vocals and layered by Fennek\u2019s vivid, deliberate instrumentals. Fans of provocative contemporaries like Sylvan Esso, the Knife, and Angus & Julia Stone find a new voice to connect with. The young musicians find solace in seeking a deeper connection with listeners through FYE\u2019S relatable narratives crooning over FENNEK\u2019S darker, focused beats.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You are currently viewing a placeholder content from Spotify<\/strong>.

They come from a city that at first glance, does not have much to offer. Kassel, Germany, however, has been the starting point of some of Europe\u2019s most creative gems. Perhaps it\u2019s out of a drive to find that special \u2018place\u2019, or to together create a home as you would like to have it. Whatever the motivating force, the small German city has been home to many international acts in the last few years, making their way abroad with legendary indie labelLichtdicht\u00a0Records (now Filter Records), who have overseen the development of artists like Milky Chance and James Hersey and created a nucleus of music and young bands that change the world for themselves and others. Indeed they\u2019ve created rousingly beautiful and danceable music heard far beyond their Kassel backyards. This phenomena has developed into a term called the, \u201cKassel School\u201d \u2010 which refers to a community of people who are home with one another, regardless of where they are in the world.<\/p>\n You are currently viewing a placeholder content from YouTube<\/strong>.
