Foxing
Cinematic emo that swings from fragile falsetto whispers to explosive, trumpet-backed crescendos. Intricate, emotionally raw rock for those who need a good cry.

Foxing sounds like a nervous breakdown captured in high definition. Their music is built on a foundation of restless energy, where delicate, math-influenced guitar lines and mournful trumpet melodies suddenly give way to massive, wall-of-sound climaxes. It is deeply atmospheric, often feeling like it was recorded in a vast, empty cathedral or a dense, foggy forest at midnight.
What truly sets them apart is the vocal performance of Conor Murphy, who navigates a staggering range between a ghostly, breathy falsetto and a desperate, throat-shredding scream. The band treats the 'emo' label not as a limitation, but as a starting point for expansive sonic experiments, incorporating elements of post-rock, chamber pop, and even glitchy electronics in their later work.
Start with 'The Albatross' if you want the quintessential midwest emo experience with a cinematic twist. If you prefer something more polished and experimental, 'Draw Down the Moon' showcases their evolution into a high-concept art-rock outfit without losing their signature emotional weight.
Foxing was an American indie rock band from St. Louis, Missouri. The band has released five studio albums, a live album, an EP and 14 singles.
