Foxygen – “No Destruction”
A fun, nutty video from the boys in Foxygen for one of my favorite tracks from their latest album, which you can check a review for below. If you dig on ghost towns, cowboy hats, car crashes, and weird faces, then this video will totally be up your alley. Enjoy!
Foxygen – We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic
This time around, the singer-songwriter duo known as Foxygen writes an album with much more focus and cohesion than 2011′s Take the Kids off Broadway. 21st Century Ambassadors is simply one neatly crafted retro pop jam after another.

Foxygen- “Shuggie”
Foxygen drops a strange video for the song “Shuggie,” which features an array of characters who are completely infatuated with a mysterious black box. While there’s no real explanation as to what makes the black box so damn interesting–or delicious–it does highlight the absurdity of obsessions people can form over objects. Props to Ulysses///Onasis on the video direction. They’ve also worked on some visual projects with Damien Jurado and Richard Swift
Look for Foxygen’s next album, We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic, on January 22nd via Jagjaguwar. Check out my review of the band’s Take the Kids Off Broadway EP right here.
Foxygen- “Shuggie” (LOVED)
Some vintage pop rock with schizophrenic tendencies on this new Foxygen track, “Shuggie,” which is set to come off the band’s next album, which is ambitiously titled We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic. It’ll be out January 22nd via Jagjaguwar–you know, the same label that released that great EP the band put together in 2011.
And just like the material that’s on that EP, “Shuggie” shifts without warning from one idea to the next. The subdued intro is paired with some pretty moody vocals, and a mellotron-esque keyboard melody. The whole thing reminds me of the Unicorns a bit, but the big showbiz chorus around 1:20 goes down a completely different path–I’m not even gonna get into the funk breakdown around 2:30.
Again, Jan 22nd! Mark it on your calendar!
Foxygen- Take the Kids Off Broadway
Foxygen’s new EP is the sound of rock music’s golden era crumbling. Crumbling into a fondue pot of delicious musical ideas. Also, magic.

Foxygen- “Make It Known”
On this track from the forthcoming Foxygen EP, the bi-costal singer-songwriter duo evokes numerous sounds from rock ‘n’ roll’s greatest icons, but still manages to lay a fun, eccentric spin on it all.

Foxygen- Take the Kids Off Broadway
If you’ve been keeping up with my videos, then you know how much I’ve fallen for this new, up-and-coming singer-songwriter duo known as Foxygen. They’ve got a new EP titled Take the Kids Off Broadway coming this July on Jagjaguwar, but the band has this EP streaming in full on Bandcamp right now. So feel free to listen, pre-order, and all that jazz.
