THE PROPER ORNAMENTS RE-EMERGE WITH FOXHOLE

THE PROPER ORNAMENTS RE-EMERGE WITH FOXHOLE

January 20 saw the release of the second full length album, Foxhole from England’s The Proper Ornaments, the combined project of Ultimate Painting’s James Hoare and Max Oscarnold (Toy) . A more pastoral and relaxed affair than 2014’s Wooden Head, the duo’s aim was to give this record more time and space, forced in part by a fault in the 8-track recording process which necessitated an almost complete re-start. Deceptively somnambulist in character initially, the compositions bloom with time and are also more than a modern nod to many artists and the pop, rock and folk styles of years gone by, a fact complemented by the warm, unhurried sound. Foxhole is out now on Slumberland (US) and Tough Love (UK/ROW). It’s available here. Listen to the latest track they’ve shared, ‘Bridge By A Tunnel’ as well as ‘Cremated (Blown Away) below. A new video for ‘Memories’ is up front.
