VISUALS

VISUALS official site | VISUALS on Facebook | VISUALS on Soundcloud | VISUALS on Twitter | VISUALS on Instagram |

VISUALS is Andrew Fox, a vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and producer from New York City.

Fox began crafting the songs that would become VISUALS in 2012. A long-standing working relationship with Dave Harrington, Nicolas Jaar’s partner in DARKSIDE, led to VISUALS joining Jaar’s Other People crew and releasing an acclaimed self-titled debut EP.

In October 2013, Fox swapped Brooklyn for Berlin and left behind a studio full of gear, finding freedom in the limitation of a laptop.  Working with his voice as a primary instrument led to an intensified focus on melody, and opened moods previously inaccessible. 

Whilst the dominance of house and techno in Berlin’s club scene has undoubtedly influenced his music, Fox also consciously counters that, balancing his recent work with some unmistakably American indie traits. He has honed a new sound, combining aspects of traditional songwriting and structure within this electronic context. His gift for memorable hooks and compelling melody remains the focus, with dance floor arrangements and sounds providing endless new possibilities.

FEE LION

FEE LION is the emerging experimental witch disco, art pop, solo output of Chicagoan Justina Kairyte. Fusing together soft, haunting, new wave melodies with gritty dance rhythms, FEE LION transports us to a place so eerily nostalgic. Think Fiona Apple spending the night at Johnny Jewel’s house says Bullett Magazine. Often equipped with a portable strobe, plenty of fog and a collection of handmade LED vinyl outfits, “Kairyte weaves together delicate webs of guitar distortion, a skeletal postpunk guitar pattern, minimal drum loops, a downcast key melody, and a faint hum that sounds like vocal samples slowed to a near halt.”­Chicago Reader In anticipation of her debut album release ‘Carbon Copy’, FEE is in the process of conceptualizing an interactive­multimedia visual album experience & in the meantime, touring.

Anna McClellan

The road to Anna McClellan’s Yes and No was not just a metaphorical one. Born out of a long solo road trip McClellan took in 2015, the songs map her emotions of the two year period in which they were written like a highway is laid out before its driver. With decent savings, she set off due west, keyboard laid across the backseat, with little plan other than a call ahead to some friends and the idea that playing shows along the way would be cool. Though the trip lasted only four months, McClellan continued bouncing around from New York to Omaha and back, until finally settling in NYC in January of 2017. It is fitting that these songs were conceived in a period of restlessness.
McClellan’s singular voice mixes earnest intensity with nonchalant melancholy that puts the listener in a distant place, far away from other humans, as most of the subject matter deals with loneliness and internal emotional navigation. Often though, the songs stray outward and upward, pondering the confused nature of people, elaborating on the one thing we all cling to: the knowledge that no one is excluded from feeling weird sometimes.
