St. Louis’s Foxing have announced their sophomore LP, Dealer, will be released in Autumn via Triple Crown Records. Based on the above screenshot from today’s video announcement (which can be viewed below) combined with our junior detective skills, it’s also very possible that the image above will be its album art. Or not. Quit playing with our hearts, Foxing.
Dealer comes two years after the band’s stunning debut, The Albatross, which picked up support from emo staples Count Your Lucky Stars and, subsequently, Triple Crown months after its initial release. Their fanbase also exploded exponentially in Albatross‘s wake, building up an “emotional rollercoaster” of a live set after tours with the likes of Modern Baseball, mewithoutYou, and Brand New.
Based on the snippet, it appears the band hasn’t shaken their tendencies for post-rock tinged emo… and hell, why would we want them to?
