Sometimes the most rewarding discoveries are the ones that take you completely by surprise. Foxes is one of those discoveries. Arriving unheralded with her Neon Gold Records¡¯ debut ¡®Youth¡¯ late last year, it wasn¡¯t long before the song¡¯s resplendent synths, industrial percussion and by-turns-searing-and-soaring vocal were the talk of the town.
Foxes is in actual fact just one Louisa Rose Allen. The Southampton-born 22 year-old followed her big sister to London the day she turned 18. She tried her hand at studying music but dropped out when she realised it wasn¡¯t the studying part that she enjoyed. With ¡®Youth¡¯ (and its mournful b-side ¡®Home¡¯, and resulting remixes) having so far garnered over a million combined Soundcloud and YouTube plays, and 1,250 Hypemachine ¡®likes¡¯ between them, it¡¯s unlikely she¡¯ll be heading back to class anytime soon.
Now she returns with its eagerly awaited follow up, the Warrior EP, led by the dual-pronged attack of lead songs ¡®Warrior¡¯ and ¡®White Coats¡¯. Foxes will release the Warrior EP on 25 June via Neon Gold Records on 7-inch vinyl and digital EP.
