ANDY SHAUF’S FOXWARREN SHARES HELADO NEGRO REMIX OF “YVONNE”

LISTEN HERE

‘2’ OUT NOW

"A short, evocative new track [...] 'Yvonne' is a low-key, percussive track with at least a touch of bossa nova influence. It’s got all sorts of interesting touches in its orchestration." - Stereogum

“ 'Yvonne' is an understated kind of gorgeous, a tarnished piece of jewelry glinting in the sun.” - AV Club

“[2] trades traditional folk-rock for something stranger and more textural: hip-hop drums, fluttering flutes, dialogue clips, and chopped-up fragments that bloom into understated pop gems.” — Under The Radar

Sonically shimmering with a lilting vocal, electronic avant-pop artist Helado Negro adds a warm, beat-driven pulse to his remix of Foxwarren’s single “Yvonne.” Listen to it below.

Helado Negro aka Roberto Lange has shared this statement about working with Shauf and his music:

“I saw Andy Shauf perform solo a year or so ago, and the music and performance absolutely blew my mind. When Foxwarren asked me to remix this song for his project, I was honored and excited to see where I could take it. Songs always feel like they can keep evolving. Whether you're listening to a song on your own headphones, the ambient sounds of your surroundings are constantly changing your experience of it. I wanted my approach to the remix to be like this—a new environment for this mysterious and beautiful tune. The name Yvonne and the way it's sung feels like a complete shape, a satisfying melody. I love how it's a name that could be someone from a long time ago or someone you long to see now. I wanted to create a sense of wistful dancing—a mellow bump of bouncing bass, subtle dissonance from the rearranging of the strings, and asymmetrical shapes in the phrases. A smoke screen of soft reverbs and hard-to-hold chords. Andy’s voice has a texture of its own, a beautiful landscape from a distance, and is full of delightful surprises as you listen closer.”

"Yvonne” was originally released as part of Foxwarren’s sophomore album ‘2’ this past spring. The Canadian quintet - comprised of Andy Shauf, Avery and Darryl Kissick, Dallas Bryson, and Colin Nealis - built on 20 years of friendship, ostensibly plays folk music, where warm tones and cantering rhythms buoy songs of characters wrestling with existential quandaries inside of twilit vocals.

But after touring their lauded 2018 self-titled debut, Foxwarren decided to do it all differently, eventually dropping the familiar band-in-a-room routine to instead plug those songs, and various other sounds into a sampler. The result is mesmerizing and uncanny, an album that traces two sides of a relationship through 37 minutes of collage art that aspires to “sound best blasting out your car window,” said Shauf. 

By himself, Shauf has already had a stellar career; his reputation built not only by the sweetness of his melodies and sharpness of his words but also his inability to rest with past success. Foxwarren, especially here, is a crucial part of that ongoing process, but ‘2’ represents something even more significant—five friends now nearing the end of their second decade making music together, pushing against what they’ve learned how to do to venture somewhere new.

Declared the #1 album of 2025 by No Ripcord, their review astutely states: “Sequenced akin to GZA’s deconstructed classic Liquid Swords, ‘2’ sees Andy Shauf and his college friends splicing cinematic flourishes and spoken-word excerpts into a smooth meld of muted glam-rock (“Listen2me”), looped chamber pop (“Dance”), piano-driven disco (“Wings”), and breakbeat-informed musical scores (“Sleeping”) ... Come for the album’s immaculate flow and stay for its tragicomic story, which, in true Shauf fashion, requires time to reveal itself fully. One can hear how Foxwarren carries out ‘2’ without a shred of expectation, as they prove that changing the usual routine with some spontaneity can yield masterful results.”
