Vinyl LP pressing. Witchy, twitchy and full of attitude, Fox Face is a fog-swirling, moonlit night where nothing is as it seems. Realized and reckless, this eerie musical force would be as much at ease holding a seance on a stormy, nighttime beach as throwing a rager in a dark, beer-soaked basement bar. On the tongue-in-cheek Spoil + Destroy, the band's first record for Dirtnap, the band alternates between Sabbath-y searing guitars, surf-rock and creeped-out, organ-laced sonic seances. Recorded by Kyle "Motor" Urban at MotorCo Studio in Madison, WI, using an all-analog 16-track recorder, the attitude hangs hard on the vocals of everyone throughout, echoing the spirit of Kathleen Hanna and Neighborhood Brats' Jenny Angelillo. Lindsay DeGroot (lead guitarist and vocalist) leads this storm of sound, with bandmates Lydia Washechek (guitar, vocals), Mary Joy (bass, vocals) and Christopher Capelle (drums). DeGroot's explicitly feminist lyrics are undeniably bolstered by no-bullshit politics and inspired by The Book Of The Dead and The Craft. Spaghetti Western styles intermingle with punk & roll and goth, making for a bubbling pot of riled-up, creeptastic tales, where the environs are trepidatious, dark and frustrating.

Recorded and mixed at MotorCo Studio, Madison, Wis, by Kyle "Motor" Urban on an Ampex MM-1100 23" 16-track recorder. Mastered by Justin Perkins at Mystery Room Mastering, Milwaukee, Wis.

About the album title...Reading about witches, looking for creative inspiration, we came across some feminist theory discussing 16th and 17th European witch hunts being implicit in the rise of capitalism (wherein women are a means to birth a workforce) and at the root of traditional "women's roles" as they exist today. At that time, there were many learned women-profound thinkers, scientists, doctors, midwives, herbalists-with vast knowledge and, therefore, power. And as a means of control, these women were labeled "witches," deemed evil, and murdered en masse, and with them their collective knowledge was lost. The term "spoil + destroy" is taken from a witch-hunting manual that, to paraphrase, states that even good witches who do not "spoil and destroy, but save and deliver" should be killed. That resonated with us-the idea that, as a woman, your achievements are irrelevant because of your gender. And, taken at its face value, "spoil + destroy" reflects many of the themes we feel in our lives-the times when everything seems shitty, regardless of how hard you try. But it doesn't have to be this way: "You know you got what they want-don't let 'em fuck it up, don't let 'em silence you."
