Hardy Fox used to be the composer for The Residents for over four decades. He later released solo albums under the name Charles Bobuck before finally switching to his real name in 2017…Nachtzug is his second solo album. In the beginning, this release was intended to become a TOOK release – simply releasing Fox’s sketches for The Residents’ Ghost Of Hope album. But this idea soon turned out to be not challenging enough, so Hardy started using his original sketches as the basis of an entirely new recording. The inspiration came from a real train journey, says Fox, towards the end of his time with The Residents: “It was nothing special. I needed to be in Zürich for a show and caught the last train leaving Vienna. Eight hours of rolling down the shiny tracks. Plenty of time to think. Too much time to think. Nachtzug, the night train, understands beginnings. Nachtzug, the night train, comprehends ends.”. (excerpted from klanggalerie)
