Sustain marks Fold’s tenth year with a celebration of much-needed community in a world of turmoil and exploitation

It’s been a decade since we first got the band together and released Mr President, We’re In Trouble. It’s been one hell of a journey. We looked back at all of the voices on our records and realised that two people have left us in that time: bell hooks (1952—2021) and Michael Ruppert (1951—2014).

Although they may seem an unlikely pairing, their message for our future was much the same: communities sustain life. This was also our most important learning in all that time.

And so with joy and hope for the future we celebrate the lives and learnings of bell hooks and Mike Ruppert along with our own 10 year voyage.

Press

“Fold are releasing Sustain to celebrate ten years of the project, and to pay tribute to the members they’ve lost along the way. As such, the guys have incorporated nods to previous releases and an upbeat yet nostalgic feel to their arrangement. Bright brass joins with a funky groove and snippets of philosophical spoken word. It’s simply a joy to listen to.”

York Calling

“Look I had planned a longish piece on this song but when it comes down to it it’s simple. Get together with your friends, your neighbours, your community, dance endlessly to the infectious addictive groove, and experience the joy and power of togetherness. Boy, is this good. Three minutes of fantastic music that makes you want to dance. And words to take in and act on. This is killer.”
