Featured Release
![Nearer My God [Explicit]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51JAu5ms-vL._SS500.jpg)
Foxing: Nearer My God
Genre: Emo/Post-Rock/Indie-Rock
Label: Triple Crown Records
Foxing made a huge splash in 2013 with the heavily emo influenced The Albatross, and their 2015 follow-up – Dealer – saw them dabble in atmospheric indie-rock very successfully. Their third LP, Nearer My God, appears to be aimed for even bigger and better things. The songs released thus far point to this being their coming of age album, an epic and almost arena-ready indie rocker. There’s never been a better time to get into Foxing. And for those who already are, you likely don’t need to be sold on the band’s credentials as one of the most relevant up-and-coming artists in the genre. Saddle up, this is going to be one of the most talked about albums of the month.
