Foxing - Foxing (September 13, 2024) • Page 36

there is something about barking that i feel in my bones

 

arf arf

 

there are two wolves inside of you

 

funny that after what i said last night that this album is hitting harder than ever right now

arf

 

I am the listening guru

 

barking and dead internet were the biggest growers for me this weekend.

 

Great interview with Conor on the new album

Foxing on Self-Producing Their New Album, What ‘Foxing’ Means, and "A Better Quality of Suffering” - Our Culture

 

Okay it’s finally clicked.

 

Looks Like Nothing - Gratitude is the best two song stretch ive heard in a long time

 

Speaking frankly, as someone who is going through a severe depressive phase right now, should I avoid this record until I'm in a better headspace?

 

As someone who’s going through the same thing rn, I’d say it’s helping me out more than it is bumming me out? Ymmv but I’d still give it a shot.

 

Was singing 'give me snapping of the brain' to myself yesterday and my 2 year old daughter heard me and asked 'New place?'. Later, she asked me to sing it to her when she was going to sleep. She's a fan.

 

Different strokes for different folks, but I find it comforting to listen to artists who are also going through it. The lyrical content is bleak, but there's hope in there. I don't think it will make you feel worse

 

For whatever reason, I'm not finding this record as mentally heavy as Nearer My God. That album (masterpiece it is) really gives me this heavy sense of "something's about to happen" that's tough when I'm not in a great headspace.

This album has been kind of cathartic in ways that I didn't expect being in a tough headspace myself. Kind of feels like the thing has already happened and we're moving through it.

 

The way the screaming verses on 737 foreshadow the themes of each song to come on DDTM is so incredie. I feel this album picks up that thread with Looks Like Nothing. it feels like a conversation between Connor and Eric about the sonic fate of the record. Cut the buzzsaw please from Connor, but then Eric brings the buzzsaw full force at the end. Like a narrative snapshot if the bickering that must have been going on for the entirety of the recording process.

 

finally got to listen to this today. don't recommend doing on a walk during a sunny day lol feels like I need to be alone in a room to let it wash over me.

really enjoy the swings of the sound they went for. feels like a very organic evolution of were they want to be!

 

7.8 by Ian Cohen lol

 

Foxing: Foxing

 

You realise the author has virtually no say over the score right? How are we still doing this in 2024? Ian heaped praise on the album and band during Indiecast (surprisingly Steven Hyden likes the record too). Safe to say he would score it highly if that was how it worked.

(His NMG review was an 8.0 yet he has consistently called it a top 10 record of the 2010s decade)

 

I don’t care about the score. Ian Cohen still sucks and is still a shitty dude

 

7.8 is a great score but idk why anybody gives a shit

 

My record is finally coming today lol

 

I gotta swing by some local shops I’m sure somebody has it

 

7.8 from the fork is good
