WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

Fathom

Posted over 2 years ago
I just received and listened to Foxtail Somersault's EP "Fathom". I like it a lot. I like Cat Howland's voice and the multi-layered guitars. It reminds me of Slowdive and Mogwai. Foxtail Somersault is one of our esteemed Mogger Artists (see "snakama of foxtailsomersault").You can hear the 5 tracks of the EP in the Media section of their website:http://foxtailsomersault.com/Here is their description of who and what they are:Foxtail Somersault, a San Francisco based five-piece, was formed when guitarist Seiken Nakama, decided to take his musical passions to the next level. Largely influenced by the shoegaze genre, Foxtail Somersault blends diverse musical styles without being contrived. Accompanying Seiken's textured guitar layers, Catherine Howland has a voice and lyrics you don't want to miss. James Spadaro's hook-laden guitar melodies, complement the "wall of sound" style, while bassist Brian Anderson and drummer Mark Dungey construct original and dynamic rhythms. Calling upon influences like Slowdive, Luna, Mogwai, and Asobi Seksu, Foxtail Somersault's dreamy, atmospheric yet edgy sound is both original and familiar.
