..its not all cautious decisions

About Me


Foxface are a three-piece band based in Glasgow, Scotland. They released a self-funded debut 7” Monster Seas/Across To Texa in April 2006, contributed a track to Chemikal Underground Records’ critically applauded 'Ballads Of The Book' compilation earlier this year, and have now recorded their eagerly anticipated debut album 'This Is What Makes Us' for Gargleblast Records. Recently the band has embarked on a tour supporting Idlewild’s Roddy Woomble, as well as appearing at the Isle of Skye, Greenman, Indian Summer and Belladrum Festivals. Their live performances have become legendary in Scotland, a menagerie of eclectic instrumentation and eccentric costume giving them an air of the otherworldly, one where folk heritage blends with modern rock and roll.
Foxface are: Michael Angus (Guitar/Vocals), Jenny Bell (Bass/Vocals) & John Ferguson (Drums/ Accordian/Banjo/Mandolin)
"'This Is What Makes Us' is Foxface's 2007 debut album which, capturing this magical mix of personal narrative and folkish storytelling, is utterly captivating in it’s iridescent originality. Recorded at Lanarkshire’s appraised Chem 19 Recordings by producer Andy Miller (Mogwai, Sons & Daughters, Delgados, Arab Strap…), the album renders beautifully the world in which Foxface exist; one where visceral nature meets quiet recollection, and where an ancient magic envelops the everyday. This album marries memory with a strong sense of place and history, giving it an unmistakable and essentially Scottish identity, but still retaining the international pop sensibility of a truly important band. We love Foxface, and hope that you will too…"
(Shaun&Martin - Gargleblast Records)
THIS IS WHAT MAKES US is out 5TH NOVEMBER, and will be accompanied by the downloadable single LAST WALTZ.
