When he’s not running the Brooklyn-based label Orchid Tapes, Warren Hildebrand moonlights as Foxes In Fiction, and that’s a very good thing. His sophomore album under that moniker is meditative and comforting; it has no edges. “Ontario Gothic” is a smart album too, because it’s self-referential, sourcing material from previous album cuts and early singles. Throughout the LP, Hildebrand never lets the feeling stray from one of warm, misty comfort. There’s a bruised sadness to it—Hildebrand calls it healing pop for a reason—but it’s a pleasant, reflective kind of sadness. Ontario Gothic doesn’t keep anything at a distance; its strength comes from always being right there .
