Album Description
Available in: Country Icon Country Icon Country Icon
Foxtrot is the fourth studio album by English progressive rock band Genesis and the second from the band line-up which included Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, Phil Collins, and Steve Hackett.

Foxtrot was Genesis' first album to enter the UK Top 20, reaching No. 12. Still, it failed to reach the US charts. Nor was it the first Genesis album to chart worldwide: Trespass had reached No. 1 in Belgium in 1971, shortly followed by Nursery Cryme's No. 4 placing in Italy. Foxtrot also reached No. 1 in the Italian charts.
"Watcher of the Skies" and "Get 'Em Out by Friday" appeared on 1973's Genesis Live, while the 23-minute-long "Supper's Ready" was omitted due to space considerations. Live versions of "Supper's Ready" did appear on 1977's Seconds Out (with Phil Collins on vocals and Chester Thompson on drums), the 1998 box set Genesis Archive 1967–75, and the 2008 box set Genesis 1970–1975.
The title of the album may be a nod to the Mellotron Mark II used by Banks at the time, which included foxtrot as one of the preset rhythms in its tapeset. The 'fox on the rocks' is mentioned in the lyrics of the "Willow Farm" section of "Supper's Ready", and is featured in the album artwork. This figure in a red dress with a fox's head became one of Gabriel's earliest stage costumes.
