About Foxwarren

Foxwarren is a Canadian indie rock band, primarily known as a side project for the critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Andy Shauf. Formed with childhood friends Dallas Bryson (guitar), Darryl Kissick (bass), and Avery Kissick (drums), the band’s origins trace back to years of collaboration and shared musical exploration. Their self-titled debut album, released in 2018, was a slow-burn masterpiece, emerging from a decade of on-and-off recording sessions. The album showcases a distinct sound that blends elements of alternative folk and indie rock, characterised by warm, analogue production, intricate arrangements, and Shauf’s signature storytelling and distinctive, often hushed, vocal delivery.

Their music is a tapestry of delicate guitar work, understated rhythms, and thoughtful lyrical introspection, creating a sound that is both familiar and uniquely their own. While not a band that chases mainstream “hits,” Foxwarren’s debut garnered significant critical praise for its cohesive atmosphere and timeless quality, drawing comparisons to artists like Elliott Smith and The Shins. Tracks like “Everything Is Waiting” and “In Another Life” exemplify their ability to craft deeply emotional and musically sophisticated pieces. Live, the band translates their album’s intimate charm into a compelling performance, focusing on the nuanced interplay between the musicians and the evocative power of their songs, making for a truly immersive auditory experience.
