...Teenage Allien Blues...Moj novi omiljeni bend...For those who don’t know, Foxygen is Jagjaguwar’s newest and youngest signee. Don’t let their age deter you, they bring something pretty incredible to their music. Pitchfork’s Steven Hyden says the mini-album “transforms familiar ingredients into unpredictable, even unwieldy music” and “suggests that Foxygen have found a patch of untamed wilderness in the midst of otherwise well-trod territory. Offering neither clarity nor order, but very much the opposite, Foxygen see exciting possibilities in these disjointed times.”
So these two 22 years old guys seem to re-record a recordcollection with The Kinks records in it, David Bowie, Scott Walker, Queen, The Rolling Stones (very much!) and what else was hot in the mid-seventies.
Their approach is similar to MGMT's - putting all kind of hippie music and glam rock in a bucket and cover it with much more glitter - but Foxygen do it with much more weirdness and quirkiness. Tons of references, tiny details, great soundeffects, vintage shit and what else.
It's like a glam rock opera - some concept-record-shit and not from this today times. And on the other side, it's only possible in these days, to make a eclectic album like this, with the record collection of your relatives and cheap recording technique to put this all together in a bedroom.
