It’s Christian Rich season on FW14. Inspired by their fascination with the future, time travel and the worlds outside our galaxy,
FW14 is the start point of exploration. The album’s concept is influenced by Phillip K Dick’s novels “VALIS Trilogy”, “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” and the Christopher Nolan directed Sci-Fi motion picture, Interstellar. There are interludes that sound like a person traveling in space and time. That person is the main character of the album and the female depicted on the cover standing next to an Audi. She is also narrating in the interludes; a nod to A Tribe Called Quest’s classic Midnight Marauders LP.
Staying true to their roots, Christian Rich incorporates unique percussion inspired by Nigerian Fugi Music and Brazilian Jazz
by Marcus Valle. Bossa Nova style chords with high-energy drums and string heavy productions create the sonic experience that is FW14. All the songs are interwoven together; an endless record.
