Foxx Bodies Share New Single & Video “Room”

Vixen, the second album from Foxx Bodies that is due to be released on November 5th via Kill Rock Stars, is the sound of joyful catharsis. It’s the artistic manifestation of four friends locking arms and eyes, in full support of each other’s efforts to dig through layer after layer of compacted grief, trauma, pain and fury. Recorded and produced in Seattle by John Goodmanson and mixed by Erik Blood months before the pandemic was in full swing, Vixen is a bold evolutionary step for this young quartet.

Gone is much of the surf rock-influenced swing of previous efforts, replaced by massive guitar riffs and a newfound pulverizing attack from the rhythm section. They have now shared their latest single, Room. The video was thought up by lead singer Bella Vanek and her partner Lucille Petty while in lockdown. The song toys with the fluidity of masculinity, femininity and everything in between. Its a reminder that binary thinking can create a war within us.

“This song is about being queer, which has a different definition for everyone. There is no specific person or type of person this is for except maybe just anyone who has, at one point, felt like they might be ridiculed for being who they are. The focus on a room comes from my bedroom, the idea of ‘a room of one’s own’, or any safe space. Finding a safe space is the happy ending to the song and to my personal experience as a queer person.” (Bella Vanek)
