Foxing
Cinematic emo that swings from fragile falsetto whispers to explosive, trumpet-backed crescendos. Intricate, emotionally raw rock for those who need a good cry.

Foxing emerged from the St. Louis DIY scene as a pivotal figure in the 'emo revival' of the early 2010s, though they quickly outpaced the genre's typical boundaries.
Formed in 2011 from the ashes of post-rock group Hunter Gatherer, the band's sound identity is defined by extreme dynamic shifts and a high level of technical proficiency. Their debut, 'The Albatross' (2013), introduced a 'chamber emo' aesthetic, utilizing brass and strings alongside math-rock guitar tapping. Over their career, they have transitioned from the somber, minimalist textures of 'Dealer' (2015) to the maximalist, synth-heavy 'Draw Down the Moon' (2021) and the aggressive, self-titled 'Foxing' (2024). Critically, they are lauded for their ambition and Murphy's distinctive vocal range. They occupy a unique space between the technicality of American Football and the cinematic grandiosity of Sigur Rós, influencing a new wave of bands that blend emotional vulnerability with complex, art-rock arrangements.
