Foxing
Nearer My God
The much awaited third album from one of our favourite modern punk bands, Foxing. A brilliant mix of emo, math rock, post hardcore and indie - all the good stuff.
The record tackles such weighted subjects as religion, mental illness, political instability, global disaster and the near constant sense of impending doom. The band reflects these feelings in the albums own title which is taken from the name of a 19th-century hymn said to be the song played as the Titanic sank.
Nearer My God is an indie rock band making a record that aspires to be something far bigger than ’80s or ’90s nostalgia. The festival-ready stomp of “Grand Paradise” is Foxing’s answer to “Airbag,” “Zebra,” or M83’s “Intro,” the leadoff track that doesn’t “level up” so much as shout that an already great band is playing a completely different game. While the title track and “Bastardizer” are laser-lit, howl-and-point anthems that could conceivably elevate them to the status of alt-emo festival staples like Manchester Orchestra or Circa Survive, there’s not much contemporary comparison to the nine-minute ambient odyssey “Five Cups” or the IDM-goes-post-hardcore frenzy of “Gameshark” or “Heartbeats” merging swirling house rhythms with atmospheric post-rock guitars.

The Albatross
Excellent debut album from Missouri’s Foxing. Their music is hard to describe but slightly-mathy, emo, post-hardcore with post-rock and indie. If you're into bands like The World Is A Beautiful Place, Braid, Mewithoutyou, Brand New, Mew, Modest Mouse then this is a band to check out!
Gorgeous orchestration & shimmering guitars soar at one moment giving way to fervent vocals & intricate, crashing instrumentation the next. With comparisons ranging from Do Make Say Think, The National & MeWithoutYou, Foxing aren’t easily pinned down to a genre. Instead they are something wholly their own which is truly something special.

The day after the release of their hugely anticipated new album, Foxing play a stripped back set in Banquet.
Nearer My God is the band's third full length album, following on from 2015's impressive Dealer. The band have completely pushed and evolved their sound even further this time around, the diverse singles Slapstick, Nearer My God and Gameshark shed a glimpse of how expansive and unique this record is... We couldn't be more excited to see them in the shop for an intimate and stripped back set.
