Their themes are classicist emo, singing about ex-lovers and lovers that never were, through obtuse metaphor ( Bloodhound ) or otherwise ( I swear I'm a good man/So why don't you love me back? goes the pleading hook of Rory ). The balladic, anguished Rory could almost be a bizarre outtake from the Sidekicks' last album, while Bit By A Dead Bee Part II starts off with a striking, thoroughly compelling minute of disarming atmosphere akin to This Will Destroy You, offering the most heartrending moment of the whole album. The latter's Part I counterpart has some interesting, mathy intricacy with the guitars, but there's not much of a logical transition to its gravelly, snarled bridge and outro.

The title of Foxing's album, The Albatross, is an allusion to a poem by Samuel Coleridge, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. In the poem, a ship is led out of stormy waters and into calm seas by an albatross. After leaving the cold waters, the Mariner makes the decision to shoot the albatross down, a decision that the crew eventually supports as the ship continues into warmer and warmer waters. Eventually, the ship becomes stranded without a cross wind, and the crew turns again on the Mariner, forcing him to wear the body of the bird around his neck as a penance.

With The Albatross, St. Louis Missouri's Foxing have created an incredibly urgent & cinematic debut album. Gorgeous orchestration & shimmering guitars soar at one moment giving way to fervent vocals & intricate,crashing instrumentation the next. With comparisons ranging from Do Make Say Think, The National & MeWithoutYou, Foxing aren't easily pinned down to a genre. Instead they are something wholly their own which is truly something special.
