Their new EP, Fathom, is a masterful work of "shoe-gaze" rock, layering many textures, inspired by bands like The Cure a...

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 des...
