I'm in love with this amazing offering from these Omaha Nebraska based musicians. In a world full of heartless, cookie cutter indie rock Idlefox bring new life back to the genre by simply tearing the doors off the competition. From the opening chords of "Fire Inside My Heart" you know you are in for a real treat as it's jangling feel and infectious vocal swagger sets the pace for a bright and uplifting mood. "Gold Coins" actually makes me think of The Smiths as it has the kind of wavering quality to it that's easy to latch on to while "Arrows" has a 50's/early 60's crooner feel that makes it one of the albums best tracks and really shows off the bands range. "Zebra" adds a nice ambient touch to things and serves as a fine lead in for the more psychedelic sounding songs like "Lung Capacity" and "Looking Glass". The album winds down with a collection of more straight forward guitar and vocal pieces that work like a beautiful sunset at the close of a long Summers day. A refreshing and inspiring album from beginning to end. - Dave Allison

Bio
Idlefox was founded in the late winter of 2015 by Jeff Johnson with brothers David McInnis and Nathan McInnis. They hit the ground running with a compilation tape release and west coast tour in the summer of 2016. Undeniably, Idlefox creates phenomenal soundscapes bathed in shoegaze topped off with a heavy dose of groove inspired rhythms yet never overlooking the umbrella of vibrant, emotional vocal melodies. Rest assured this Omaha power trio lays down impressive live shows while excelling in song writing, relentlessly. With their rowdy stage presence and a knack for travel Idlefox is in high gear and heading to a town near you. Snag their new EP "Keeper" and keep an eye out for their LP and U.S. Tour in late spring
