Andy Shauf's side project Foxwarren announce first album in seven years, 2
Canadian quintet Foxwarren – Andy Shauf, Avery and Darryl Kissick, Dallas Bryson and Colin Nealis – have announced their forthcoming second album, 2, alongside new single, "Listen2me".
The forthcoming full-length from Foxwarren – their first in seven years – follows their 2018 debut self-titled album. Borrowing from a bit of dialogue, lead single "Listen2me" sees Shauf relays a loud-mouthed lover’s quarrel. The song’s video was directed and created by filmmaker and artist Winston Hacking.
In creating 2, the band opted to try something entirely new: In their own home studios across four provinces, all five members would upload song ideas, melodic phrases, or rhythmic bits to a shared folder. In Toronto, Shauf would then plug these into a sampler and construct songs from the fragments supplied by his bandmates, leaning into classic hip-hop techniques and musique concrète.
Tracklist:
- Dance
- Sleeping
- Say It
- Listen2me
- QuiteAlot2
- Strange
- Havana
- Yvonne
- Deadhead
- True
- Round&round

2, will be released on 30 May via ANTI-, and is available to pre-order now.
