A night out in his hometown turned into a love letter to the music that started it all. South-West Wales artist Brook Fox returns with “Together,” a vibrant indie-pop/rock single inspired by the electric energy of the 2000s and early 2010s indie scene. It’s out now.
Drawing on Bloc Party and Two Door Cinema Club, the track is built around chunky guitars, offbeat disco drums, and a simple but effective chorus, the right ingredients for an indie anthem. It also marks the debut studio performance of Brook Fox’s live band, whose energetic sets have seen them support Liverpool’s Keyside and Glastonbury performer Mali-Haf. That energy carries straight into the recording, made with trusted producer and mixer Tim Hamill.
The song came from a personal place. “This song is a love letter to the songs that inspired me in the first place, writing this felt like rediscovering my obsession with music,” says Brook Fox. “Lyrically it’s just based around a night out in my hometown and just wanting to escape the judgement of being different, I think it’ll speak to a lot of people.”
The BBC Radio Welsh A-Lister has hinted that “Together” is just one piece of a larger puzzle, though only time will tell whether a bigger project is on the way. Fox first grew obsessed with songwriting during the 2020 pandemic, idolising Sam Fender and Catfish and the Bottlemen for their ear-worm hooks and working-class lyricism, and that emotionally direct streak runs right through this release.
