Foxygen, the duo of Sam France and Jonathan Rado, return with their new album, Seeing Other People, due April 26 via Jagjaguwar. Additionally, they share lead single, “Livin’ A Lie,” and an accompanying video.
Seeing Other People was written and produced entirely by Foxygen at Sonora Recorders in Los Feliz, California and engineered and mixed by Shawn Everett. Throughout, Foxygen’s keen ability to experiment with and expand upon classic pop and rock sounds bloom, and features legendary drummer Jim Keltner. Seeing Other People sees Foxygen at their best, “chopping up pop culture and spinning it into a sticky, wicked web.” The particular flavor on this album, the band suggests, is “Sad-Boy Plastic-Soul Adult-Contemporary Cartoon-Noir Music.”
“Goodbye to the drugs, to the partying. Goodbye to my twenties now, Goodbye to my Saint Laurent-model-body. Goodbye to the touring circus — that’s right, no more shows or tours for a while. Goodbye, hopefully, to the anxiety attacks. Goodbye to beating myself up because I didn’t fit into those leather pants anymore. Fuck it. Goodbye to the facilities. And goodbye the leeches in my life,” says France on the themes of the album. Read the full letter here.
