Bronze Age Fox

BACK.

A Brief History
Bronze Age Fox were:-

Dominic Jones - voice
David Edwards - drums / programming
Will Edwards - bass
Thom Stone - guitar

Bronze Age Fox were four boys from Bristol with a penchant for pop songs but a perverse interest in sullying them with all manner of subtle trickeries.
The NME described them as 'possibly our classiest leftfield pop band', and they weren't wrong.

The line-up included the shadowy electronic story maker Red Setter (Dominic), and the amiable producer of Instrumental Computer-Based Pop, Minotaur Shock (David).

Bronze Age Fox released a scutch of incredibly collectable shaped singles in 2004 (people were selling their Granny's gold teeth to get a hold of them), and the music on them was pretty damn good too, so much so that the big wigs at a very large record label saw potential and snapped them up.
Now this is where the BAF story takes a bit of a downward turn I'm afraid.
The aforementioned label gave them a bunch of money and told them to go out on tour... The lads being homely types thought balls to that and booked some studio time and recorded an album instead... Brilliant.
Well apparently it was a little too free thinking for the big shot label and they were mightily peeved (why???) and decided to shelve the album.... (why???).
This led to lots of wrangling and maneuvering trying to get the album released but to no avail, and in the end it all proved too much for the band and they split in 2007, with the album (Impossible!) still sadly unreleased.

More in depth information on the recording of 'Impossible!' and history of BAF written by David Edwards can be found here.

Reviews
"A fantastic Pop masterpiece album"
"Wooooooooooow...!" (an expression of delight)
@ BBC 6 Music - Stephen Merchant

"Possibly our classiest leftfield pop band"
@ NME

"BAF make dreamy tunes driven by sun-kissed guitar melodies that simmer with stuttering loops, warm samples and jagged programming. It’s a simple recipe for pop gorgeousness, softly seasoned with electronic wonder."
@ BBC Collective

"Bronze Age Fox are one of this decade's great lost British bands. A kind of homespun Bristolian precursor to Hot Chip – eccentric record collectors in love with R&B production and buoyed up by those same irresistible schoolboy soul vocal"
@ The Fader

"This is great Pop (with a capital ‘P’) that should have you smiling, humming along, listening carefully to catch all the lyrics and returning again and again to enjoy all the little sonic details."
@ Somnambule
