The Wear And Tear Of Fear

The Wear And Tear Of Fear: A Lover’s Discourse features ten new songs from Hoboken guitarist and songwriter Tim Foljahn. Having collaborated with artists like Steve Shelley [Sonic Youth], Christina Rosenvinge and Thurston Moore on previous releases, The Wear And Tear Of Fear is almost entirely a solo affair, closer in spirit to his original mid-90’s recordings for Smells Like Records.

Over five years in the making, The Wear And Tear Of Fear is an epic journey through love and loss with one of the great American realists. Influenced by Nick Cave to Townes Van Zandt, Serge Gainsbourg to Lee Hazlewood and Leonard Cohen, Foljahan’s lush synthetic orchestrations and mountainous guitars frame the rustic lusty baritone as he wends his way through this wild and windswept landscape, cavorting through the clouds and crawling through the mire.
