Reviews
The reviews for Foxes! have been really great so far. Here’s a round up of what people have been writing:
“Well crafted, self aware pop…occasionally they go nuts and wig out like The Coral or Captain Beefheart…it’s fantastic” – Artrocker Magazine ****
“A world of winsome, delicately spiced indie pop…taken as a whole, the album’s lo-fi charm and mannered innocence is a winner” – Uncut Magazine ***
“Don’t be put off by the twee coating there is more to these cunning canids than meets the eye. From surprisingly dark subject matter to the occasional foray into rockier territory Foxes! is the first truly post-twee album.” – The 405 7.5 / 10
“This self-titled debut is enchanting, full, as it is, of concatenate jangly indie waxed tales, and minor kitchen-sink dramas.” – God Is In The TV ****
“Trying to distil the history of indie into one album is cunning… worth hunting down.” – Daily Star 7 / 10
“Foxes! offer a breath of fresh air within the indie pop music spectrum, through their captivating rhythms and simplistic, yet infectious melodies.” – Sound Revolution 8 / 10
“It’s a superb album and a great start to the year. “ – Little Comments 8 / 10
“The stompers keep on coming, taking in such subjects as spending too long in cafés, days when you feel like you can’t do anything right and girl crushes.” – Brighton Music Blog
“Foxes! has the essential elements of a great novel, the introduction intrigues and the whole album gathers pace and depth as the listener flows with the tracks” – Indie Bands Blog
“There’s gems on this album that will keep you warm now and keep you dancing through the summer.” – Who’s Jack ****
“These kids are too forthright not to be respected.” – The Line of Best Fit
“Few graces aside, Foxes! take almost every trick in the book and nauseatingly sugar dump them back out.” – This Is Fake DIY 4 / 10 (hmm can’t win ‘em all…)
