They get pretty sad but they try to stay rad. Lyrically ranging from self-pity to self-criticism and fluctuating from hard-hitting confessionals to tongue-in-cheek deconstructions. All while approaching influences not often seen within ‘anti-folk’, at points going into d-beat and blast beats.

Foot ox is an experimental and somewhat psychedelic folk band from Portland, Or. Originally formed in Tempe, AZ in 2007 . The music and lyrics inspired by dreams, deals with love, death, adventure, heartbreak and fear with indirect and abstract imagery. Unusual but subtle orchestration gives an impression of Intimacy even playing in front of large crowds. The sound swings from driving, upbeat full band, complex and rhythmic, to sparse, quiet emotional moments of vulnerability.
