Foxing Draws Down the Sinclair

On Friday night, the Sinclair hosted Home Is Where, Greet Death, and Foxing for a sold-out stop of the latter’s Draw Down the Moon tour. The tour celebrates the release of Foxing’s fourth album of the same name. Although the album has been out for about a year now, the three Missouri natives hadn’t had the chance to do a headlining tour to promote the release. The Sinclair started to fill up as Home Is Where put on an energetic performance. Frontman Brandon McDonald fell to the floor multiple times, screaming lyrics from their new release, I Became Birds. Michigan-based Greet Death took the stage and, in between songs, talked about everything from depression to Stardew Valley gameplay. The light-hearted stage banter gave good contrast to the heavy, dark melodies that came after. When Greet Death finished, a projector lit up the dark stage, which showcased dream-like visuals. Foxing started off with three tracks from Draw Down the Moon, but to much surprise, played quite a few songs from Nearer My God and fan favorite, Dealer. Although the show was to celebrate DDTM, Foxing took the opportunity to showcase a majority of their discography. At one point in the show, frontman Conor Murphy sprawled out over the stage as guitarist Eric Hudson sent his guitar out into the crowd. The performance was chaotic, full of energy and emotional, and exactly what one would hope for from a Foxing show.
