Jul 31, 2014Despite Martin’s prominent role, Phox are more than just her and a backup group. The rest of the players continue to shine when she is not present.
-
Jun 24, 2014On this debut, not a single note is out of place.
-
Jun 23, 2014By existing at their own preferred pace, PHOX’s wonderful inability to conform to anyone else’s standards is what forces listeners to slowly digest their subtly multi-layered sounds. PHOX may be self-sufficient enough to do without your love, but it certainly deserves it.
-
Jul 8, 2014It’s all meticulously crafted, but thanks to an easygoing dynamic, each track sounds somehow breezy and nonchalant.
-
Jun 23, 2014Phox and its producer, Brian Joseph (a recording engineer for Bon Iver who worked with the band at Bon Iver’s April Base Studios), make the most of studio flexibility in songs that develop and transform themselves radically as they go.

Jul 15, 2014Because the sound is so jam-packed with instrumentation, and Martin’s voice so often bouncing about in the same patters, the sound can sometimes get a little muddy--a little salt to cut the sweetness would have been welcome here and there.

MagnetJul 18, 2014There are seeds of talent in Phox, but this album doesn't let the band flourish. [No. 111, p.59]
