I think the production sounds amazing so hoping this is noise free with lots of dynamics I have the bone white variant, it sounds great. Almost zero surface noise. I did a rip of it I can share if you PM me (done with good equipment). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecayToDeath Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Alright, I first heard about Foxing during the Dealer album cycle, and because I hated that album so much I stubbornly refused to listen to The Albatross, even though it's their most well-regarded record. Gotta say this new LP is really hitting the spot and making me wanna go back and finally give TA a whirl. Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still a nice listen, but I'm confident in saying that NMG has ruined everything that precedes it, for me and this band.

dawhizz Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Been listening to this a lot and I can’t believe how many 2000s indie touchstones I hear that I never would have associated with Foxing. Some songs sound like Modest Mouse or Radiohead. His voice sounds like Bon Iver sometimes, at other times TV on the Radio and even Band of Horses. The beginning of Lambert sounds like The National to me. Heartbeats sounds almost like a Kanye beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 After one listen, I can’t say there’s as many “standout” songs as there were on Dealer, but as a whole, this album is on a whole other level. batman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie Jones Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I really dig this album. For other reasons than the first two. I can't wait to see how they sound live. They always kill it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always kill it. I caught them at Arctangent festival over here at the weekend. They played Grand Paradise, Heartbeats, Nearer My God and Slapstick from the new record. IT SLAPPED - probably my favourite set over the whole weekend. I'd seen them before so I had a rough idea what I was getting into, but on a festival stage with great sound they were legitimately on another level. I'm dying to see them again already!

THE_James_Champ Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 You know, even with Coheed a month and a half away, i'm pretty hard pressed to think any other album will surpass this one for me. And that's after so many great albums that have already dropped this year. Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn’t surprise me because on first listen - and subsequent ones - I swear that I hear traces of M83, Coldplay, and Kings of Leon at times. Which, on paper, totally shouldn’t work for me – the fact it does, though, says a lot about the songwriting and musicianship. There’s also a track near the end that feels like it beckons a punchy, early Brand New vocal delivery. The thought pops into my head every time I hear it.

Definitely get early Brand New vibe during the end of Bastardizer and more recent Brand New vibe during Won’t Drown and Heartbeats.

I think it’s the vocals on Grand Paradise that remind me of Modest Mouse. And it’s funny you mention Brand New because I keep thinking that Lich Prince wouldn’t sound out of place on Science Fiction. erasedtapes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) Made a similar "Brand New" comment to my buddy. With this album it almost feels like they've (Brand New) passed the torch. Edited August 24, 2018 by FiggyPud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Another odd vibe I’ve been getting is late My Chemical Romance. Mentioned it to my wife on our latest listen and she hears it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadDonut Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I'm finally getting around to buying some more albums and this one is def on the list. I like the coke bottle and the gold splatter but I REALLY love that tour haze. Anyone looking to sell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
