From Helado Negro: “I saw Andy Shauf perform solo a year or so ago, and the music and performance absolutely blew my mind. When Foxwarren asked me to remix this song for his project, I was honored and excited to see where I could take it. Songs always feel like they can keep evolving. Whether you’re listening to a song on your own headphones, the ambient sounds of your surroundings are constantly changing your experience of it. I wanted my approach to the remix to be like this—a new environment for this mysterious and beautiful tune. The name Yvonne and the way it’s sung feels like a complete shape, a satisfying melody. I love how it’s a name that could be someone from a long time ago or someone you long to see now. I wanted to create a sense of wistful dancing—a mellow bump of bouncing bass, subtle dissonance from the rearranging of the strings, and asymmetrical shapes in the phrases. A smoke screen of soft reverbs and hard-to-hold chords. Andy’s voice has a texture of its own, a beautiful landscape from a distance, and is full of delightful surprises as you listen closer.”

“Yvonne” was originally released as part of Foxwarren’s sophomore album ‘2’ this past spring. The band includes Andy Shauf, Avery and Darryl Kissick, Dallas Bryson, and Colin Nealis. But after touring their lauded 2018 self-titled debut, Foxwarren decided to do it all differently, eventually dropping the familiar band-in-a-room routine to instead plug those songs, and various other sounds into a sampler. The result is mesmerizing and uncanny, an album that traces two sides of a relationship through 37 minutes of collage art that aspires to “sound best blasting out your car window,” said Shauf.
