CFCF Releases Debut ‘Continent’

Montreal-based DJ and electronic artist CFCF (aka Michael Silver) released his anticipated full-length debut, Continent, yesterday on Paper Bag Records. The 12-track album (which features Silver’s own spin on Fleetwood Mac’s song “Big Love”) is the followup to CFCF’s set of celebrated EPs, Panesian Nights and The Explorers (featuring label mate Sally Shapiro), both released earlier this year.

CFCF has been creating tracks since his pre-teens and has only begun to present his music publicly in the last couple of years. CFCF’s career began to take off with his contest winning remix of Crystal Castles “Air War” and has followed up with a chain reaction of official remixes for talents such as Sally Shapiro, The Presets, HEALTH, The Teenagers and Hearts Revolution among many others.

“For the songs on this album I usually started with an idea in mind of a specific atmosphere I wanted to convey,” says Silver. “That atmosphere, whether it was something hazy, nostalgic, otherworldly or unsettling, was always the first thing to come to a track.”
