The Foons

Sitting down for a conversation with Taed Cejtin and Erik Rothlind of The Foons was electrifying. This electricity comes from the dynamic between Taed and Erik. Taed sits calmly with the finer details ready to go while Erik can’t help but pull you down the rabbit hole of music ideation and creation. There’s a confidence and excitement to these two that grew throughout the conversation as they got further into talking about their music.

The Foons first project “Balloon Fruit” came out earlier this year and is a feel good, indie rock album mostly written by lead singer Erik. “Balloon Fruit” is a great foundation for the group before they dabble into more experimental sounds like their upcoming single “Shapes.” The new track comes out on Dec. 4th, and The Foons will be donating all of the streaming proceeds to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
