Comments: PHOX is the self-titled debut full-length from this Wisconsin septet, which has already built up its reputation with opening slots for bands like Blitzen Trapper and The Lumineers. Claiming Feist as a major influence, PHOX injects its sound with heavy doses of psychedelic pop, folk, and Afro-Caribbean music, creating what AllMusic.com describes as "a heady blend of polyrhythmic, psych-tinged art rock and sugary, soulful indie pop." The disparate influences and styles are all seamlessly pulled together by the soulful croon of vocalist Monica Martin.
