“Foxing are no strangers to sprawling, powerful videos. With former band member Josh Coll in the director’s chair, they’ve gotten good at building a world of intense emotion in only five minutes.
Their new “Slapstick” video, named after the Kurt Vonnegut novel of the same name, fits right in. It’s a smooth melodrama, a bummer of muted grays and blues underneath their usual vast, melodic rock. Frontman Conor Murphy’s voice yearns, always stretching forward, not back. He’s a patient light amid the slow, sadness.
“Slapstick” is the first sound of Foxing’s forthcoming third album Nearer My God, co-produced by former Death Cab For Cutie member Chris Walla. Coll’s accompanying video is a story of post-apocalyptic survival. It’s a slimy but touching portrayal of love between a botanist and his small, Demogorgon-esque flower friend.” — Stereogum, Gil Green, June 18 2018

♪ lyrics ♪
I walk around with a headglow
Shrugging my shoulders
Fucking up everything
And they won't stop following me
Holed up in a tower
Sucking inheritance
So mock up a thirty second
TV corroborative defamation
Now hold open the door so I can fall in
So I'm on the floor with a halo
Face in the carpet
Laces in sheepshank
With a hyena cackle from Vishnu
Protection has ended
You pay up to no thanks
So you mock up an ad, gag a press pit
The weather’s the same if you're born in '46
Now hold open the door so I can fall in
Hold open the door so I can fall in
Hold open the door so I can fall in
Hold open the door so I can fall in
There's no more sun and no more light shine through
There's no more sun and no more light shine through
I walk around with a headglowSpoiled and ancientTaking vacations(No more sun and no more)Always vacations(Light shine through)
Now I'm on the floor with a halo
A headache from bad coke
So keep all the lights low
(No more sun and no more)
Now keep all the lights low
(Light shine through)
Would you hold open the door so I can fall in?
There's no more sun and no more light shine through
Would you hold open the door so I can fall in?
There's no more sun and no more light shine through
Hold open the door so I can fall in
Could you hold open the door so I can fall in?No more light shines throughJust hold open the door so I can fall in
