“Fox Truth’, a sharp and powerful tale of friendship, touching on the darkest moments we face, but fundamentally focusing on the value of friendship. Rhys Tranter, Milli Casey and Deanna Rose make a paramount team on the vocals, with Nick Harvey dominating the drums and Sam Smith producing, completing the flawless five. Traditionally the sound of the track lies in an acoustic indie-rock genre, with elements of blues folk and alternative country, which is what generates a personal connection between the five. A slow and illuminating texture is in harmony with unifying vocals, a clear representation of a secure connection between them.
There is a touch of despair hidden in between the lines, but a shed of hope is portrayed from an everlasting friendship. They count their blessings and embrace the fact they are not alone, “Every time I drag myself down/You’ll be there to pull me back in/My oldest friend, I’m graceless and hollow”. This same chorus becomes more heightened as the track goes on, becoming more passionate as it reaches its peak; the energizing electric guitar sending us into a fiery frenzy.
