“The Magdalene” is taken from the forthcoming new album by Foxing titled “Dealer” will
be out this Fall on Triple Crown Records. This St. Louis quintet Foxing emerged from the recent emo resurgence as a clear front runner that could endure the waning fad continue to contribute meaningful material. their breakthrough “the Albatross” juxtaposed moments of agitation with sustained introspective passages, a formula that will prove beneficial for a young band given ample time to hone their craft.
With the success of Foxing’s 2013 debut effort the Albatross spilled over well into the following year with its blend of cinematic post-rock and eclectic post-hardcore resonated with a surging fan base and earned them a record deal with Triple Crown Records who reissued the Albatross and will release the band’s sophomore album, Dealer, due out october 30th.
“The Magdalene,” is the first single pulled from Dealer, collectively internalizes the aggression that permeated their earlier work and presents a vunerable confessional about the psychological trauma of sexual guilt stemming from a religious upbringing. dual guitar lines weave delicately through Conor Murphy’s vocal narrative, with layers of decayed delay washing over the song’s texture before coalescing into a beautiful, heart-wrenching coda powered by a surging rhythm section.
This UK and European tour in support of Tigers Jaw is a chance for Foxing to see out the era of ‘The Albatross’ – an album countless UK fans have been calling for them to tour here since it came out in 2013 – while also strictly looking ahead to ‘Dealer’ and the future. Speaking to the band on only their second night on the continent, they’re already picking up differences between the crowds and communities this side of the Atlantic,
“It was very strange for us last night. The crowds here actually listen to what you’re saying in between songs, and want to hear about your experiences in their town, where in America you have to shout to get a word in! We’re still trying to get to grips with the way things work over here, but so many of our friends in bands have toured here and have an extremely high opinion of the scene.”
