about

Everything Around You is a co-release presented by K and Perennial.

The second LP from Feeling Figures was in fact recorded before their first. Amongst the stuttered starts and stops of the pandemic, a window opened for ‘The Figs’ to commit 11 songs to tape. After gradually preparing new and resurrected material, they gathered in drummer T's basement in the omicron winter of early 2022 to document their strongest songs on his recently acquired reel-to-reel. Compared to ‘Migration Magic’, ‘Everything Around You’ is a considerably deeper dive into the Figs universe, a more deliberate collection that includes compositions which push into the expanse, drawing from a broader palette of art rock influences. The songs on this album navigate tensions between the personal and political, encompassing inner turmoil and deep-seated desires for change at the entangled axis of individual and social transformation. ‘Everything Around You’ is their most fully-realized accomplishment to date; the best recorded representation of their boundless, idiosyncratic approach to guitar-based music. A summation years in the making, years in waiting, finally set free.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
At the core of Feeling Figures, the Zakary Slax and Kay Moon songwriting partnership is still intent on wrangling visions from the air, a pursuit since their fateful encounter on the Atlantic coast a decade or so ago. After relocating to Montreal, the pair produced a handful of self-released tapes, collaborated with a rotating cast of merrymakers and contributed to a variety of local projects. Around the time the world shut down, their collective vehicle was reimagined as Feeling Figures, powered by the vaunted rhythm section of Joe C. & Thomas M. Celluloid Lunch released their self-titled debut 7” in 2021. Feeling Figures first full-length ‘Migration Magic’ was co-released by K Records/Perennial in November 2023; a spontaneous syntheses of guitar pop, scrappy punk, folk, psychedelia, and garage rock.
Recorded in the basement by Thomas and mixed to 1/2” tape by the band in Montreal.This release continues the rich tradition of DIY bands crafting instant pop hits entirely on their own terms, which has long been the hallmark of the International Pop Underground. Look for the video for singles “Doors Wide Open” and “Everything Around You” And a show or two....Whatever happens it is quite assuring that whatever these times may bring bands can still put out music as good as this LP.
800 vinyl copies.

‘Everything Around You’ is not this generation’s first ramshackle-as-fuckk art punk album and I’m not sure it’s even the 30 thousandth. But I do know Feeling Figures have arrived fully formed, with a real voice of their own (several in fact, that must be a really good microphone). This album is simply too much fun to have been the product of years of serious study, though I’m told students occasionally have fun, too. I wouldn’t know, i’m a university drop out. I did once see an episode of the television adaptation of “The Paper Chase” where one of the new Harvard Law hopefuls had a Kiss poster over his bed and that seemed highly implausible.

This isn’t a record review. Or maybe it is. But I fell asleep while listening to this album and had a wonderful dream: I was riding my bike through a fictional version of the city where I was born. You know what I mean- familiar, but strangely new? I rode through predawn darkness. The sun began to rise and made the city glow. Two buildings stood out, a liquor store and a pasta factory. I woke up in a happy mood and carried that feeling throughout the day. Joe
