Bryce Fox - Burn Fast







1. Who is this dishelved looking character?
This is Bryce Fox from Bloomington, Indiana but fighting out of Los Angeles. He has been writing music for movies and TV. Burn Fast (Jan'16) is an indie pop song and the man's debut single.

2. What kind of tune is Burn Fast?
A story teller with a voice that is inticing. Big drum, crystal production, choral vocal backing and "oh oh oh's". Stock standard indie pop; not setting the house on fire but the line about singing "hey you all the drive" is killer.

3. Who does Bryce Fox sound like?
Josepvinaixa think X Ambassadors, John Newman or Chris Cornell. Going Solo were minded of Hoozier.

4. What have the good folk in the music press got to say about Bryce Fox?
“Effective, forceful and including some killer and irresistible vocals” - Josepvinaixa.

“A fully formed pop song built around the stellar vocals and a hook that will no doubt stay with you for days” - Wonky Sensitive.

“An obvious alt-rock backbone but that doesn’t disdain the use of sparse electronics, leading to a massive chorus to sing along to” - We Are Going Solo.

 
5. Who are his musical influences?
No idea. Top 40?

6. Why should I listen to Burn Fast?
It's likable. So middle of the road it would be arrested driving but inoffensive, charming and nice. Polished. Paint by numbers pop. You can singalong without a lyric video.

7. Does Mr Fox have any more indie pop marvels?
Not right now.


8. Any more good gossip on this lad?
A short player is due soon produced by Frequency who has worked his fingers to the bone for MisterWives, Eminem and Snoop Dogg among many others.
In 2011 Bryce Fox and his friend Daniel Weber composed the Indiana University basketball team anthem “This Is Indiana.”
Bryce Fox released an album in 2013 called Oh, Hello that has since been pulled.
Bryce Fox did a Weeknd cover that he's not embarassed of.



“Something about her,
When she said hello!
I'm taking you home”




Big Data is electronic music producer Alan Wilkis. He is best known for the number one (alternative charts) collaboration with Joywave Dangerous. His debut album 2.0 (2015) had a better tune though. Clean Feat. Jamie Lidell (Feb'15) was the second of three singles off the album and a song Stereogum called “burbling, spacious synth-pop.” Clean is a monster track.


“Now, I’m the darkness that hides in the light,
And it’s laughable watching you put up a fight”
