Foxwarren 2

Critic's Take

Foxwarren's 2 feels like a playful collage, where songs such as “Say It”, “Deadhead” and “Dress” become the best tracks on 2 by virtue of rhythmic invention and clever arrangements. Scotty Dransfield writes with a quietly admiring tone, calling these moments "rhythmic, catchy, and inventive" while praising the clever production that makes them pop. He points to hypnotic cuts like “Wings” and “Strange” and the haunting closer “Serious” as further evidence that the record's low-key experiments are its greatest strengths. The result reads as the band most alive in years, a five-person project daring to try something new and pulling it off with quiet confidence.

Key Points

• The best song(s) like "Say It" succeed through rhythmic invention, tight basslines, and clever arrangements.
• The album's core strengths are its playful, sample-based production and textural collage that make low-key experiments feel fresh.

Foxwarren's 2 feels like a lovingly assembled eccentric pop record, and the reviewer's enthusiasm homed in on a trio of highlights. Chief among the best tracks on 2 is “Listen2me”, called an absolute gem that channels The Beatles and T. Rex.

Critic's Take

Foxwarren's 2 is at its best where the band marries Andy Shauf's feather-light songwriting to lush, cinematic samples, most strikingly on “Say It” and “Deadhead”. The reviewer's tone is admiring and amused, noting how the hip-hop-informed beats and chopped dialogue make otherwise restrained songs feel unexpectedly joyful and strange. Standouts such as “Wings” and “Listen2me” are praised for their grooves and payoff, while interludes like “QuiteAlot2” and “True” are seen as intriguing but underdeveloped. Overall, the critic frames the best tracks as those that let the production flourish without losing the tender songwriting at this album's core.

Key Points

• The best song, “Say It”, succeeds because it is fleshed out with unexpected chords, detailed arrangements and hit potential.
• The album's core strength is marrying Shauf's delicate songwriting to inventive cinematic sampling and hip-hop-informed production.

In this review Darryl Sterdan praises Foxwarren's 2 for turning folk-rock into an uncanny collage, singling out “Listen2me” as a bracing centerpiece and highlighting the album's pop-melody generosity. Sterdan writes with crisp admiration for the band's decision to splice home-studio fragments into songs, noting how that technique makes the best tracks, especially “Listen2me”, loop and linger. The review frames the best songs on 2 as intimate, inventive character pieces where sampled voices and warm melodies push familiar material into surprising places. Overall Sterdan treats the album as a successful experiment in collective imagination and crafted songcraft that yields several standout moments.

Key Points

• Listen2me stands out as the album's most vivid example of the sampler technique, with a repeating riff and bounding rhythm that anchor the record.
• The album's core strength is transforming folk-rock roots into a mesmerising collage of sampled voices, warm melodies and close collaborative invention.
