"another shambolic, excellently weird collection of incense-and-peppermint tracks."
-- Entertainment Weekly [THE MUST LIST]
"Everything about Foxygen's new live show-which they revamped at the beginning of the summer-is as glamorous and aesthetically spectacular as they could have possibly made it. The same is true for their new album." -- Esquire
"'...And Star Power' feels as messy as a teenage boy's bedroom - and as oddly endearing."
"the real subject here is excess in all its forms: the unhinged vocal performances, the worship of '70s power pop, the way experiments are both embraced and quickly, unceremoniously discarded. Renowned for its shambolic early live shows, Foxygen's Sam France and Jonathan Rado know how to keep one foot on each side of the line separating barely contained genius from undisciplined indulgence." -- NPR Music's "First Listen"
"California psych-pop band Foxygen sound like a different era. Not a specific different era. Just some time period that is a blur of the '60s, '70s, and '80s, when people didn't wear shoes and spent their days just spinning in circles with arms outstretched and eyes fixed directly at the sun." -- Vulture [Best New Songs of the Week]
Foxygen celebrate today's release of the oh so wild ride that is ... And Star Powerby sharing the new video for second single, "Coulda Been My Love." Aptly described by Pitchfork, "Foxygen have become increasingly assured and accomplished songwriters, outfitting standouts like 'Coulda Been My Love' . . . not just with silken soft-focus melodies and heavenly harmonies, but ever-evolving arrangements that steer the songs into surprising, splendorous new directions without losing the throughline." Watch the visual representation for "Coulda Been My Love," directed by Grant Singer, and catch the nine-piece Star Power band at the very top of their game throughout North America over the next two weeks.
