You can buy the brand new album 'King For A Day' right now from www.kevfox.com
www.lastfm.com is very pleased to introduce Kev Fox, a man with a talent for writing songs with a depth of message not too dissimilar to that of PJ Harvey or Thom Yorke. Through the songs are often dark and haunting tales of longing based on a keen social awareness, there are gorgeous melodies and acoustic guitar live loops, samples and beats make some of his work reminiscent of Cherry Ghost, Nick Drake or Elbow. The songs are sensitive, soulful, and Fox’s soaring vocals lend them a sense of beauty that is rarely seen these days.
Kev has spent the last 3 years on and off the road with his band through Europe/Uk/Ireland clocking up some serious mileage and selling over 5000 copies of his first EP 'Help yourself'.
During this period, whilst on tour in Poland Kev met Andrez Smolik, a very well respected record producer (Winner Of The Golden Ear Award 2011 Previous Winners include Daniel Lanois, Brian Eno, Martin Hannet) at a show in Warsaw. Andrez invited Kev to his studio to put a track together.
The track was L.O.O.T.T it was featured on the album Smolik 4 which went into the Polish charts at number 3 on November 12th, outselling Rod Stewart and Kings of Leon that week. The album sold over 30000 copies worldwide and is still in the top 20...!
After playing numerous sold out shows after the release of Smolik 4, Kev Fox and his band took some time out to record Kev's debut album 'King For A Day'
This will be no ordinary début. Kev and his producer/engineer John Lawrence (Gorky's Zycotic Minci) made the decision early on that the album should be as live as possible and that location was a huge factor.
After some long conversations they chose Cefn-Y-Waun Chapel in Deinolen, which was built by local quarrymen in 1838 in the countryside of North Wales.
''The atmosphere in the place is just incredible, the building was acoustically designed for
the male voice choir so it is absolutely perfect ''.
Kev's Début album will be released spring 2011. There will be a live DVD release to follow.
Peter Saville: (Factory Records)‘Kev Fox is an extremely stylish and talented young man who deserves all the success that is most definitely coming his way’’
The Brand New Album 'King For A Day' is available to buy from www.kevfox.com
