Foxygen Announce New Album, 'Hang'; Release "Follow The Leader"

Sam France and Jonathan Rado, the duo better known as Foxygen, have announced their new album Hang, due out January 20th on Jagjaguwar. Along with that announcement, the group have unleashed the project’s lead single, “Follow The Leader” and its accompanying video.

On Hang, every song features a 40-plus-piece symphony orchestra arranged and conducted by Trey Pollard with additional arranging from Matthew E. White. Additionally, the album was recorded with the brother rhythm section duo of Brian and Michael D’Addario, also known as the Lemon Twigs, and features Steven Drozd of the Flaming Lips on select tracks. Written and produced entirely by Foxygen, Hang was recorded on 2” tape at Electro Vox Studios in Los Angeles. About their lead single, the band said this in the news release:

“it was a blast to make! It’s a positive anthem, with some lyrical scenarios we don’t quite understand.”

On top of all that, the news also brings the dates for their forthcoming North American tour! Find those dates below.

Foxygen’s Hang is available for pre-order now. All digital pre-orders come with instant grat downloads of “America” and “Follow The Leader.” The Jagjaguwar album bundle will include Hang Demos flexi disc with “Follow The Leader (demo)” and “On Lankershim (demo)”.
