Foxy Digitalis
Mona Demone’s 2022 album, S3RP3NT, is incredible. Beyond the effervescent melodies, pristine production, infectious rhythmic patterns, and engaging sonic construction, Demone’s music has a deeply-rooted emotional core. This music washes over our entire bodies with a sharp, cleansing force. Not only does it get us moving, but it also gets us feeling everything within and around […]
Foxy Digitalis has been back for just over two years now, and I find it difficult to get my head around it. Throughout that period, though, the core idea and drive have remained the same, even if the pieces and structures have shifted somewhat. I’m excited the site launched a handful of new columns and […]
The Bedroom Witch (aka Los Angeles-based performance artist Sepehr Mashiahof) digs well beyond the city’s glossy sheen on her latest, A Place of Hurt. Emotive synth arrangements melt into the shifting rhythms, sparking new understandings of transformation and connection. So many aspects of A Place of Hurt stand out and leave a mark. Mashiahof’s songwriting craft is a […]
Beast Nest’s exquisite Sicko is certainly one of my favorite records of 2022 so far, but another thread is pulled taut and revealed in the incredible new video for “Kim, People Are Dying.” The energy and tension in the song are heightened by the colors and movements in the video. A multifaceted narrative unfolds, flipping between alternate […]
From the first moment I heard Dax Pierson’s 2021 opus Nerve Bumps (A Queer Divine Dissatisfaction), it’s never strayed too far from the stereo. “For The Angels” remains one of my favorite tracks on the record with its acid-tinged arpeggios and bass lines and drifting, hazy melodies. In the video, directed by Malocclusion, vivid colors intermix […]
Lexagon’s Feminine Care was one of my favorites last year and on an album full of them, “When the Tide is Low” is a real standout. Lexagon’s Alexa Burrell creates music and sound that is a conduit for connecting with a deeper spirit while acting as a tool that aids in survival. She explains about this track, “This song […]

Derek Gedalecia’s Headboggle project always pushes ideas and boundaries well beyond any reasonable zone, yet his work is always infinitely listenable. Digital Digital Analog is the most fleshed-out execution of the Headboggle vision to date. Over 24 tracks, Gedalecia skips across space and time, leavening his squelched electronics into a dizzying maze of sonic treats. Each vignette […]
Lexagon, the music moniker of artist Alexa Burrell, has delivered one of the rawest, most powerful sonic statements of 2021 with Feminine Care. A beguiling mix of visceral bangers, experimental soundscapes, contemplative drones, downtempo hauntings, and everything in between, Burrell put all of herself into this record. The vulnerability shown is intense, sometimes difficult to listen […]
