Foiled Again

Blue October

A stripped-back collection of acoustic reworkings. Raw, intimate, and centered on vulnerable vocals and weeping violin melodies.

December 5, 2006 · Universal Motown

The sound of a room exhaling. While the parent album Foiled was a polished, cinematic explosion of alternative rock, Foiled Again pulls the curtain back. It is the sound of Justin Furstenfeld sitting three feet away from you, his voice unvarnished and occasionally trembling. The aggressive percussion and distorted guitars of the radio hits are replaced by the woody resonance of an acoustic guitar and the mournful, soaring arc of Ryan Delahoussaye’s violin.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the violin swells to fill the silence during the bridge of the acoustic version of Hate Me.
The audible breath and slight crack in the vocals during the most intimate verses of Into the Ocean.
The transition from a sparse acoustic guitar pluck to a rich, harmonized chorus that feels like a warm embrace.
