Repose by Fox Lake
From Fecking Bahamas:
If you’ve been sleeping on Fox Lake and their deliriously fun tunes, it’s time to break the cycle below.The guys absolutely smash both of the takes, and bonus points go to vocalist/guitarist Zach Allard for belting it out while playing all those crazy guitar lines. We love the goofy, in-between song footage too. Everyone knows that music is only half the band, and it’s always nice to vibe off the chemistry created between members when they’re simply hanging out. Hats off to Nic Herzog for putting all the footage together, and same to Drew Riekman and Kyle Monkman for making sure it sounds so good as well.
For the vinyl lovers out there, the band allegedly still has a few copies available on their Bandcamp through Dipterid Records, but we don’t expect them to last long so you might want to pick that up before having to play the waiting game. The exclusive grey-swirl one that Old Press put out is already gone, and ultimately, we’re pretty sure the tapes will go just as fast, so head on over to Coup Sur Coup to get yours while they last! Looks like there will two editions: a blue one that comes with the normal album, and a bone white one that comes with the bonus tracks.

At some point in writing their debut album Repose, Winnipeg’s Fox Lake started to lean into the reality that their band has always been about indulgent moments: of shared delight in technical flourishes, of appreciation for natural overdrive, of catharsis while creating as a group.
After years of refinement and revision - and an entire album on the cutting-room floor - the band leaned into such moments to craft an album rooted in the mathy-emo energy and technicality that inspired the band, but built around post-rock structures and dynamics. Moving beyond the tropes of fancy fingerwork and earnest shouting, the songs on Repose signal a more intentional approach to melody and nuance, a growth that is mirrored in lyrical themes of self-questioning and transition.
