"’Black Foxxes’ is an album that showcases the band’s sheer talent, proving them as not just one of the best alt-rock bands around, but one of the more interesting bands around. Period." — LINE OF BEST FIT
"More assured than ever… a band reinvigorated" —DORK
"There are just so many little touches that lift Black Foxxes from your usual post punk gee-tar drudgery offered by so many wannabes… an impeccable album” — NARC
"In avoiding the middle of the road, this trio has stumbled upon a new wellspring they’ve soon mastered how to draw from" — KERRANG!
Black Foxxes have announced an extended version of their critically acclaimed, self-titled album. Originally released back in January 2020, the new digital deluxe version features four brand new tracks and will be available on September 17 across all digital platforms.
Pre-order here.
"The digital deluxe release of this record is something we wanted to do immediately upon writing the songs a couple of years ago," the band explains. "We knew the length of the record would be too much to include everything in the initial release, but now that those first nine tracks have had time to set in for everyone, it feels like the perfect time to release the extended version."
Check out the brand new single "45"
"'45' was actually written years ago with the old line up," says Black Foxxes main man Mark Holley. "It just felt like a nod back to the early days of the band during the ‘I'm Not Well’ release. It's just straight up raw. With the way our band is writing music now it feels miles away from the heaviness of this sound, but that's one thing we said from the offset: that there would be absolutely no limits when it came to genres. It feels nice to throw in one of our heaviest tracks whilst writing some super wanky and pretentious album 4 material. Get a guy that can do both, y’ know?"
ABOUT BLACK FOXXES:
Over the course of two albums (2016's I'm Not Well and 2018's Reidl), Black Foxxes main man Mark Holley established his band as a potent creative force, carving out a signature spot on the emotive rock 'n' roll map backed by strong, growing support from fans and media alike. With singles/videos such as "Husk." "I'm Not Well," "JOY," and "Manic In Me," the clip for which was filmed in Iceland, a key source of influence for Album 2, it became increasingly clear that Holley is an artist prepared to shed protective layers — an artist with plenty to say and a particular way of tapping into thoughts, feelings, and fears. And now, with Album Number 3, the Bristol-based singer/songwriter/guitarist has done even more to bind music and personal message into a cohesive body of work — nine compelling tracks recorded quickly with a brand new rhythm section (drummer Finn McClean and bassist Jack Henley, a longstanding friend), plus a trusted team member in producer/mixer Ade Bushby, who helmed the desk on both previous outings. From the very start, the intention was to keep instinct, musical integrity and the chemistry between the players right at the fore, with no second-guessing of the market and no attempt to stem or to edit the musical flow — a flow that takes in synths, distorted vocals plus a battery of left-field sounds (inspired by Bristol’s alternative DIY culture), along with a broader range of lyrical subject matter. After 18 months spent searching for that "magic sweet spot," this is Black Foxxes in the raw, unfiltered, unfussed with. No rules, no labels, all on the line.
