Coming out of Burry Port in Wales is Brook Fox, and the artist's new EP is a four-track strong release filled with upbeat indie rock gems that sound like they are destined to be performed on the biggest stage at Reading and Leeds Festival.
... a confident, festival-ready indie rock EP from Brook Fox blending nostalgic hooks, cinematic moments, and modern guitar-driven energy.
The opening cut, "Together", reminds me a lot of Vampire Weekend and Two Door Cinema Club, with the intro giving me massive throwbacks to the late 2000s music scene.
The second track on the release is titled "Rome", and this, for me, is a great example of what he is all about. It's got a slow-burning intro and then erupts into a solid indie rock anthem just after the one-minute mark. If you like the sounds of Twin Atlantic and Biffy Clyro, then this is the kind of song that'll tickle your fancy.
Moving into the second half of the EP, you find the track "Anywhere With You". This is more of a laid-back rock gem. Not necessarily an anthem, but more of a soft rock, radio-friendly slice that you'll happily listen to time and time again.
Closing out the EP is "Everybody's In Love", which is the last song to be released. It's a smooth song, which is a brilliant closing out of the release. It's very cinematic and very atmospheric towards the latter half, especially, with layered vocals. This is, once more, one of those songs that is going to be sticking with you long after it finishes.
For me, this whole EP release is incredibly solid and is less of an EP, if you will, but more of a calling card for Brook Fox. A very solid 8.5 out of 10.
