“effortless dreamlike folk-pop”
Gigwise
Just 2 weeks into their US tour with sellouts in every major city including: Austin, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and Seattle, the Wisconsin sextet PHOX announce their 2nd single and accompanying video for "Kingfisher.” Directed by band member (guitar, banjo, vox) Zach Johnston, take a look at the video here:
Johnston says of the track, “Kingfisher is a song about longing for a certain person romantically and then realizing that you may have invented the whole infatuation in your head. Who knows how things would have turned out had you actually been in a relationship with this person. The video for Kingfisher is about the longing and the heavy burden, the dream and possibility, and the return to harsh reality - with the added element of friendship that surrounds that situation. The video also in some ways represents our songwriting process too. At least I think so.”
PHOX's self-titled debut album is due for release in the UK on September 1st has already been praised by The 405 as being "one of the most honest and refreshing albums in recent years". Produced by Brian Joseph at April Base Studio in Eau Claire, WI and mixed by Michael Brauer at Electric Lady Studios, the album is a school of simple folk-pop songs swimming amidst a chaotic eddy of rock, psychedelia, and soul.
