Foxing - Nearer My God (August 10, 2018) Album • Page 60

Yeah the way these interviews have been reading, these guys have a fire in them right now

 

ha yeah it's my first nice turntable and properly setting the tone arm required many a youtube instructional

 

I don’t know who did the writing for these songs but at least one member of this band is going to pull a Jonny Greenwood and start scoring films one day I’m sure of it

 

Eric wrote most of the instrumental parts from what I read.

 

conor said most of the songs started as an idea from eric, him, or ricky. but eric clearly has an impeccable ear production wise and working under chris walla just sharpened that

 

I think my review for this turned out really well / excited to share with you all tomorrow

 

I could listen to that scream at the end of Grand Paradise for an eternity

 

fucking hell that was some show. Foxing left a lot of themselves on that stage - their first Irish gig and they were clearly LOVING it. 10-song set didn't seem like that long of a headline slot on paper but Pianos got the same and Foxing arguably did more with theirs.

Also I need facial reconstruction surgery after seeing Gameshark live. There are laws against going that hard on a Monday, you know!

 

Whoa what. Damn.

 

just ordered my ticket for their LA show at the Troubadour, ready to be ripped

also any way we can see the difference between the indie red and tour exclusive red variants ?

 

Tour exclusive is red haze & multiple people, myself included, can confirm they did not have those for sale on the UK/EU tour - that's gonna be on sale at the US/CAN shows I reckon.

 

wait for the live show to buy this record challenge

 

Buy it digitally from the Triple Crown Bandcamp to help first week sales challenge ;)

 

@Carrow make sure you post your variant in here!

 

Probably sounds stupid but crown candy really is improved in vinyl. Just opens up that mix a ton on some of those busy spots

 

I almost I forgot how good the albatross was, such a perfect album.. this band now has 3 albums that I freakin love a ton.

 

if i'm hearing it right... it sounds like eric does a lot of backup vocals throughout the album but the parts on slapstick and bastardizer are really the only ones where it's just focusing on him.

but, i'm pretty sure he does the entire lower octave in grand paradise? and lots of ooh's and aah's in other songs. and damn, they sound perfect together. i think if he keeps singing more often, then conor and eric could go down as one of the best vocal duos in indie/emo music!

 

I would lose my mind if we get a third audiotree with these songs

 

Picked up the coke bottle clear yesterday as well. Looks great.

 

Who sings the start of Lambert?

 

I struggle to focus on albums as a whole until I'm really familiar with every individual song, but this is completely bucking that trend. Acutely aware I've hyped up albums before just for them to not have that much staying power, but there's something about this one that is entirely captivating in a way I haven't really experienced before. Wasn't even hyped for this, and only gave Slapstick a passing listen before release, so it's not just excitement. Very glad I gave it the time though.

 

Conor. Just singing in his lower register.

 

My record is finally getting delivered today :')

 

Really? It doesn't sound like him, the pronunciation of LaGuardia is throwing me I think.

 

It’s him, just super low and it’s mixed pretty low which seems intentional because he bursts out of the mix later when the song kicks off
