Music News: Phoxjaw Release Video For New Single ‘Teething’
Bristolian quartet Phoxjaw have released a video for ‘Teething’, the fourth single from their forthcoming debut album, Royal Swan, which is due for release on 3rd July 2020 via Hassle Records.
Explains vocalist/bassist Danny Garland:
Teething reflects the struggles we all face as human beings.The nagging milk teeth erupting through sore gums, the challenges we all must face, and in this case the death of a friend. Some are taken sooner than others, but to celebrate life and the moments we experience with other beings makes the pain all worth it.”
Pre-order Royal Swan here.
Phoxjaw recently announced their Royal Swan album release show, in partnership with Signature Brew. Due to the current lockdown the date for the event is to be confirmed, but tickets are on sale now and include a free beer. Those who purchase tickets and cannot make the date will be given a full refund. Tickets are on sale here.
Born from a cabin-fevered recording experience at Devil’s Bridge in Wales, Royal Swan harks back to a fantastical medieval England. Without being overtly political, Royal Swan also details the tension inherent in modern day Great Britain – the sense of isolation and resentment the United Kingdom has fostered versus trying to retain a sense of pride in one’s own country. Listen out especially for the title-track and opening track for this.
To this end, and in classic Phoxjaw style, Royal Swan enlists a range of local musicians and sound-experiences, adding to the band’s core unique sound. Devil’s Bridge Cottage leaves its mark on the record, fostering Phoxjaw’s claustrophobic recording experience and physically shaping the sound, with each band member recording in separate rooms (and guitars in an airing cupboard).
Self-produced, with drums recorded by Lewis Johns, Royal Swan marks Phoxjaw’s step into the limelight following two highly respected EPs (2018’s Goodbye Dinosaur… and 2019’s A Playground For Sad Adults). A rare group who combine humour, quirk, intrigue, a huge range of influences, and power, Phoxjaw are a band who’ll never stop having things to say.

Danny Garland – vocals/bass
