Soft and dreamy, with a pace that rarely rises above a moody midtempo swoon, PHOX’s self-titled debut has a way of seeping under the skin…PHOX dazzles with maximum gentility. The band behind Martin frames her voice in impeccable, confident arrangements.” –NPR
“Buoyant African and Caribbean grooves behind sometimes moody reflections.”-New York Times
“They’ve got the kind of soulful, broad sound that makes you imagine the horizon’s just a little bigger than it is” -New York Magazine
“Not only does this septet have abundant energy and a batch of strong songs, but it’s also got Monica Martin, as charismatic a lead singer as I’ve seen in a while.” –NPR
“Understated passion and subtle power” –Salon (The One Band You Need To Know at SXSW)
PHOX’s eagerly anticipated self-titled debut is out now via Partisan Records. The album was premiered last week over at NPR’s First Listen, who praised the band for their charisma and “impeccable arrangements,” noting the debut record “has a way of seeping under the skin.” 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.
The Madison via Baraboo, WI sextet are embarking on a massive US headlining tour today, making stops in various major markets, as well as festivals including Newport Folk Fest and Shaky Knees. For the band’s full tour itinerary, please see below.
