Foxwarren

Description

Foxwarren, the side project of songwriter Andy Shauf: a new introspective folk gem! The story of Foxwarren reads like a torn page from the authentic rock'n'roll handbook. They are brothers, sisters, and childhood friends who formed a band in high school. They then lived as roommates and recorded an album in the basement of a rented house. Even the band's name comes from the Kissick brothers' (Avery and Darryl) family home. The band's beginnings are subtle and thoughtful. They are close to Andy Shauf's solo work, while relying on collaboration and looseness, rather than Shauf's meticulous arrangements. Where Shauf leaves room for orchestration, Foxwarren takes time to ruminate on passages and themes. Accompanied by warm rhythms and a familiar voice, colored with soft electronics and raw guitars, it's a record that ultimately rests on sincerity. It captures the feeling of friends pushing each other, of a band seeking inner inspiration, rather than external influence. It's a record whose conception has spanned years and almost never saw the light of day.
