The Discotheque Inside My Mind
Foxygen “Oh Yeah”
Foxygen are in their very early 20s, so it makes sense that their version of ’60s pop music would be mutated by having access to lots of it, but not quite knowing how it all fits together. It’s affectation and style totally unmoored from time and context, and the mishmash ends up sounding way more modern than your typical faux-Stones music. “Oh Yeah,” their finest and funkiest song, is like some explanation of their project overall, as Sam France sings about the amazing and glamourous world inside his mind – artificial and imaginary, but spilling out into his real life whether or not it’s a bummer to everyone around him. Just go with him on this.
