Foxygen
‘We Are The 21st Century Ambassadors Of Peace And Magic’ (JAGJAGUWAR)
Recommended Track
'Shuggie'You could easily hate Foxygen. They sound like the 1960s, they’re druggies and they’re idiotic. But their ridiculously-titled second LP will make you admire Sam France and Jonathan Rado because of what you’d miss if you dismissed them as a twattish pastiche. It’s a rewarding mixture of romance, wit and fantasy. ‘Shuggie’ sounds like two teenagers humping on an Earls Court pavement in 1963, ‘San Francisco’’s hook lands like a delicate smooch and ‘Oh Yeah’ is just slovenly. Want to hate Foxygen? You’ll need to try harder.
