Like A Fox have crafted a debut batch of songs that deliver on that promising union. Songwriter Jay Laughlin and engineer Dave Grubb spent the 1990s developing their vision in the critically acclaimed Philadephia / New Jersey area noise-pop band Lenola, releasing numerous full lengths and amassing an international word-of-mouth following for their unique sound that proved Pop music could be seriously damaged, yet retain its infectious hooks & charms. Following Lenola's demise in late 2002, Laughlin soon began work on new compositions that pushed harder into some of the Electronic-meets-Rock directions that latter period Lenola had only hinted at. A full ensemble was put together in 2004 to perform these songs live before proper recording commenced. This lineup includes Brian Wilkinson on bass, Jeff Scioli on guitars and vocals (who was also a part of the final Lenola lineup) and drummer Pete Girgenti (from Philadelphias Grand Fabric). There is an astonishing balance between the delicate acoustic textures and crushing choruses of these songs. The vocals float and soar while effected keyboards & buzz-saw electric guitars guide the songs along a happily disorienting ride, all above the pulse of rhythms both man and machine-made. It is apparent that the development of these recordings was a labour of love with fine attention to aural detail, yet the songs themselves are of a classic form that could have been brought to life anytime in the last four decades. For reference points think of the grandeur of Mercury Rev with the alienation of Grandaddy but with the subtle pop melodies of New Order. feat. releases Like a Fox A Little Vinyl Single Viarosa Tourniquet Digital Single Helene Heliotrope CD Album Viarosa Send For The Sea CD Album Helene Escalator Carry You to the Stars Digital Single Like a Fox Like A Fox CD Album
