Ganou – Eclectic electronic Philadelphia artist Morgane Fouse is a bit of an enigma. Late last year, under her stage name Ganou, she released the beautiful Catharsis, a moving and textured album that blended bass-y, James Blake-esque electronic beds with evocative minimalist beats and Fouse’s sublime vocals. She performed a Key Session last year and shortly thereafter went into a brief creative hibernation. The album was a literal act of catharsis, she told us at the time. Some of the hurt that inspired it still stung, and she needed time to ease it down and figure out the role music should play in her life. Thankfully, it wasn’t the last we heard of her. In May, the dream-like “God is in the…” video emerged, while a fantastic track “Spanish Horses” was released with Ill Fated Natives in July. By the fall, she was back on stage and producing new music. In an era where musicians are driven to constantly feed content to the internet lest they disappear from the public’s radar, it’s admirable that Ganou still creates for the sake of creating, and the results she gets when she steps back are astonishing.
