The Fox Derby

Add Date: December 13 

Artist: The Fox Derby 

Album: Life Apart 

Label: Self-released 

Genre: Rock, folk rock 

Comments: Inspired at least in part by Homer's The Iliad, The Fox Derby's sophomore record Life Apart is a pleasant collection of well-constructed, accessible yet downcast pop songs. The band's guitars and percussion are fleshed out by bells and swirling strings, giving the music something of a baroque, chamber-pop flare, though the tunes remain very much within the realm of indie rock.

Pretty good stuff from this Texas troupe; check out tracks 2, 1 and 3.
