Fox and Bones - American Alchemy (2021)

Based in Portland, Oregon, Fox and Bones are a contagiously optimistic blend of folk, pop, americana and soul fused lyricism joined together into an amalgamation of modern vintage goodness.

Fox and Bones’ new record is quintessentially American. When you think of American music, looking back to the roots, you’ll find the same vintage folk and country sound that swells throughout the Portland band’s third album. But while Fox and Bones stay in a vintage root with their auditorial presence, the duo tap a very modern nerve with American Alchemy.

Recorded at the Rye Room with Matt Greco as producer, the record opens with a larger-than-life sound on “Changing of the Guard”, as Fox and Bones seem to so perfectly capture the spirit and power of the Black Lives Matter movement that was sparked last year. Backed by horns arranged and performed by Dave Mills, both Sarah Vitort and Scott Gilmore are in top vocal form.
