It’s become impossible to not anticipate new Boston Manor releases. With the band debuting the single live on their US headline run before releasing it for streaming, “Foxglove” has quickly become further proof that this band is full of talented people who truly care about producing good music. The single has remnants of the heavy sound included in their third LP Glue while still bringing something fresh to the table. The song has also got some airplay on the SiriusXM hard rock channel Octane. “Foxglove” has the potential to be another success story for the Blackpool group. It seems these days that while the band diverges from their pop punk sound of their early releases, they are still making music worth talking about. A visually stunning music video encapsulates the themes of paranoia reflected in the songs lyrics. The song is also surrounded by self loathing and doubt with just a tinge of self awareness. Boston Manor knows how to mask their heavy lyrical content with riffs and breakdowns that leave you listening to the song over and over again. Upon first listen, the breakdown in this song made me visibly excited. The electronic trap beats coupled with the signature musical sound of the English rock band really make it so perfect. “Foxglove” has a little bit to offer for everyone, making it a good lead single if the band plans on releasing any more new music in the near future. It seems that they’ve been busy following the release of an LP and an EP in the last two years. “Foxglove” sonically represents that hard work. It is such a full and rich single that I would normally say is hard to top. But knowing Boston Manor they probably will. If you haven’t been following the band thus far, give “Foxglove” a spin. It’s worth the listen and will only leave you wanting more from this band.
