Band Review: Nathan Fox


Nathan Fox is a musician from La Jolla, California.

On iTunes he is classified as pop, which doesn't feel quite right. There are hints of soul and funk, with a definite old-timey feel. Generally this ends up being fun to listen to, upbeat with accessible lyrics. That mood is maintained even when the lyrics take a darker turn, as in "Devil & the Hourglass".

In one of the songs, "Dr. Marten", the lyrics seemed a little too simplistic, but this song was written when Fox was 16. You can hear how he was already gravitating toward his current style even from that early age.

Fox plays live shows frequently and is starting to have his music featured more in entertainment, providing another way in which he is accessible.
