vinyl with download. foxygen is the bi-coastal songwriting duo of sam france (vocals, olympia,wash., 22 years old) and jonathan rado (guitar / keyboards, nyc, 22). they are the raw, de-wes andersonization of the rolling stones, kinks, velvets, bowie, etc. that a whole mess of young people desperately need. at the same time, they pull a very anderson-type move wherein they paint an impressionistic and hyper-real (and instantly recognizable) portrait of specific places and times - and blurring the lines between time and place. yet, it never comes across as anything but absolutely modern music. they bring the freewheeling qualities of someone like ariel pink to those aforementioned influences to make for one of the most refreshing listens of the year. they are the real deal and total savants. jagjaguwar is proud to introduce you to foxygen and their bedroom masterpiece take the kids off broadway.
