This self-titled record is Foxing’s fifth full-length record. The St. Louis based band is known for pushing boundaries with the genre-blending indie rock with emo and electronic elements. Foxing follows in that vein of unwieldy experimentalism, with hardcore moments that haven’t been seen from the band before, and true depth of lyricism bound to take listeners on a journey. The tension is at the core of Foxing, an album that balances hopefulness and nihilism, the pastoral with the tumultuous. Whether oscillating between visceral rock noise and intimate bedroom cassette experiments on opener ‘Secret History’, or cruising at the edge of collapse on ‘Barking’, the dramatic dynamics that have long permeated Foxing’s music have never felt so extreme. The record was entirely self-produced by the band and mixed by guitarist Eric Hudson. The band’s previous records have received praise from Pitchfork, Paste, Kerrang, The Alternative and more.
