Every now and again we get to review an album that’s time capsule worthy.  If you were to find Red Fox Run’s self titled album 100 years from now under the rubble of Denver City and give it a listen you would know that they were making waves in this land locked town.  Red Fox Run is Cold Play meets The Cure with a dash of The Pixies and Led Zeppelin sprinkled in and we get to claim them as a local band.  We haven’t heard this before.  As a collective unit their chemistry transcends formulaic convention and pushes boundaries with varied song writing and structure.  As they say “We Don’t Make You Wait For The Good Parts”. They get the most out of every track with high impact lyrical content and each song sets itself apart as a stand-alone aha moment.  Every time I listen I find a different favorite.  Lead vocalist, Daniel Rondeau goes from wailing in full voice to tender falsetto as he weaves through the dramatic tempo changes and tone of each song.

From Track 1 – Didn’t See You There, the band challenges you to get on board and take notice.  I Am A Fox is their psychedelic anthem with the lyric “I am a fox… I need to run”

Track 4 – Rollercoaster is a radio worthy triumph of love and spirit that will instantly suck you in.

Their frenzied In With A Bang shows off their punk roots and versatility. With this effort the band has landed smack dab in the middle of the upper echelon of local acts in the Denver music scene.

Red Fox Run is Rondeau – Lead Vocals / Rhythm Guitar, Joshua Hester – Vocals / Lead Guitar, Caleb Thoemke – Drums / Percussion,  Seth Beamer – Vocals / Bass Guitar.  They were supported on the project by contributing musicians Joe Richmond and Emma Cole, recorded by Kyle Parker Smith, produced and mixed by Joe Richmond, mastered by Jason Livermore at Blasting Room Studios . The album is on the CAM Records Label and you can hear the first single the Red Fox Run album, I Am A Fox, at redfoxrun.com.
