St. Louis indie/emo band Foxing have just announced that they will be releasing their sophomore record this coming Fall via Triple Crown.
Entitled Dealer, the eleven-track album will serve as the direct follow-up to the band’s stellar debut record from 2013, called The Albatross.
“I was raised in Catholic school [which] imposed a very difficult stance on the freedom of sexuality,” frontman Conor Murphy tells NPR. “When I lost my virginity, I felt like it was less about love and more about sin. I have really never let go of or dealt with that guilt, which made it dark to write about. I think of ‘The Magdalene’ as a retrospective diary entry after losing my virginity.”
Dealer is officially due out on October 30. You can now listen to its first single, “The Magdalene,” below, along with its album artwork and track listing. Pre-orders are available here.
In case you missed it, Foxing are scheduled to head out on tour this Fall alongside The World Is A Beautiful Place, Ttng, and Brightside.
