Foxygen, the duo of Sam France and Jonathan Rado, have shared the brand new video ‘On Lankershim’, the latest track taken from impending new album ‘Hang’, out 20th January on Jagjaguwar Records.
On their first proper studio record, the Los Angeles duo once again present their uncanny knack for pulling together myriad strands of influences to an elaborate, uncompromising vision. And this time, they’ve gone true big band.
Every song on “Hang” features a 40-plus-piece symphony orchestra arranged and conducted by Trey Pollard with additional arranging from Matthew E. White. Additionally, “Hang” was recorded with the Lemon Twigs brother rhythm section duo of Brian and Michael D’Addario, and also features Steven Drozd of the Flaming Lips on select tracks. Written and produced entirely by Foxygen, “Hang” was recorded on 2” tape at Electro Vox Studios in Los Angeles.
The video, a lo-fi VHS-style excursion across Foxygen’s LA, comes after lead single ‘Follow The Leader’ and a sold-out London showcase at Oslo, Hackney.
