Foot Ox – “Bed Of Violets”
Ever wanted to know what a “Bed of Violets” was? I can’t say that I did, but after hearing the latest from Foot Ox, I’m equal parts intrigued and mortified. Pretty chill sounding, indie folk, little bit of synth (that reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite), and just generally good vibes. Behind the good vibes though? *Darkness* You can’t appreciate the light without the dark though, and if everything was gooey good feelings life would be boring. Speaking to the track, front person Teague Cullen had this to say:
“It’s about the struggle of facing a dark force in life and overcoming it. Even though the lyrics themselves might not be overtly hopeful, I feel like the orchestration and the strings bring a sense of something vast and beautiful.”
So apparently August 29th is the new August 11th. My editor either gave me the wrong release date for Foot Ox’s new LP A Lighthouse with Silver Dog Eyes, or, it got pushed back to 8/29. I double checked my email with their last track we wrote about, “Bleached Yellow,” and it definitely said 8/11. (it’s easier to blame the editor, let’s just roll with it) In the meantime, you can hear the embed from Bandcamp below, as well as Spotify and Apple Music.
