Following the release of ‘King’ last month and his last national tour in July, Perth indie-pop-tronic artist Carl Fox will be sippin’ Kool-Aid and flippin’ pop-poms across Australia with his six-piece band during November/December to promote the new record.
The five-track collection of songs, which were written in Carl’s home studio and recorded and mixed with Matt Gio at Studio Couch and mastered by Ben Feggans at Studios 301; have already been garnering much love.
Sydney station FBi 94.5 added the record to B rotation, Triple J’s Lewis McKirdy played the title track over consecutive weeks on Lunch with Lewi, Triple J’s Sound Lab spun ‘Slipped’, and Perth’s RTRFM 92.1 made it their local feature, saying:
“Upbeat pop with a cheeky smile and a spring in it’s step – Carl Fox have come up with a cracker of an EP with King. Sprightly, buoyant and full of charm, Carl Fox create party tunes for indie kids with more than a little bit of R’N‘B swag thrown in for good measure.”
Sydney blog ‘Acid Stag’ gave their readers an exclusive early, UK blog ‘Best In New Music’ said “King is up there with the best EP’s you’ll hear this year”, The Drum Media (Perth) awarded it EP of the Week, and Triple J’s Dave Ruby Howe said, “Carl – don’t ever change. Everyone will catch up to what you’re doing eventually.”
Carl Fox released his debut album ‘Chunky Rainbow’ in 2010 and since then has played a ton of festivals and shows including Parklife (2011), St Jeromes Laneway Festival (2011), One Movement Festival (2010) and Northbridge Festival (2010), and has supported the likes of Flume, Rufus, Miami Horror, Tim & Jean, Purple Sneakers DJs, Amy Meredith and Strange Talk.
