Garnering considerable buzz from bloggers as well as high-profile magazines before even releasing a full-length, Voxtrot signed with Playlouder, an imprint ...[more]

This Austin band's dance floor-filling twangy guitar hooks and surging choruses whirl alongside the glorious splendour of violin, cello, French horn, trumpet, and tender, emotive vocals. The band's reputation for writing deliriously perfect indie-pop songs reached the UK after emerging as firm favorites at both CMJ 2005 and 2006 SXSW music festivals, and after being lauded in Pitchfork as well as being Spin.com's "Band Of The Day".

It's refreshing to find a band that's not terribly worried about being the next big thing. Over the five years of their existence, Voxtrot have released fewer than twenty songs spread across two hard to find 7-inch singles and three EPs. And it's on the strength of those literate, memorable songs, plus a series of increasingly tight and vibrant live shows, that they've built a devoted and passionate following. The twelve songs on this record are a powerful statement of intent: louder, harder, a little more [ read more ]

Voxtrot's eponymous debut LP doesn't quite match the frenetic energy and unencumbered potential of their previous EPs, although it still shows a band with a clever knack for memorable hooks and a musical maturity that belies their relative inexperience. The immediate difference between Voxtrot and their Mothers, Sisters, Daughters & Wives, Your Biggest Fan, and Raised by Wolves EPs is the ill-advised string section, which turns Ramesh Srivastava's already hopelessly cornball (although stil [ read more ]
