Join us on Wednesday, May 28th at 4:00 PM for a special early listening party! Foxwarren, the Canadian indie collective fronted by Andy Shauf, returns with their sophomore album 2 (Anti- Records) and we can’t wait to hear it. We’ll be spinning the album in the shop and distributing party favors! These special gifts for attendees include limited-run zines and posters (while supplies last). Plus we’ll be distributing raffle tickets for a drawing for a hand-stamped, white label vinyl to be given away at the end of the listening event. (Raffle tickets are free & limited to one per person. You must be present to win.) The Foxwarren curated zine - also titled 2 - features art, photos, recipes, poetry, lyrics, collages and more. The zine includes contributions from each band member as well as Tim Kasher, Nathaniel Russell, Winston Hacking, Helado Negro, Angela Lewis, Carson McHone, Sean Solomon, and more.

For the album Shauf is joined by his fellow Canadian childhood friends and close collaborators Dallas Bryson (guitar), Darryl Kissick (bass), Avery Kissick (drums), and Colin Nealis (multi-instrumentalist). The eclectic sound of 2- weaving genres ranging from folk to psych rock to downtempo - coincides with Shauf's curiosity and desire to incorporate a Native Instruments Maschine MSK3 sampler into his process. There is something uncanny about the feeling of these songs, the way bits recorded in different rooms amplify your attention, listening for how these layers lock. But their true connective tissue is the generous and gentle ways Shauf and the rest of Foxwarren move with melody. Come on out on 5/28 at 4:00 pm to hear for yourself!
