Foxygen Release “Upon A Hill” Video

Foxygen Release Video for "Upon A Hill"

Foxygen, the LA-based duo of Sam France and Jonathan Rado, are excited to present their new video for the short-and-sweet “Upon A Hill.” Taken from their new album, Hang (out now on Jagjaguwar), “Upon A Hill” packs a punch, at only 1:37 it’s the perfect showcase for Hang as a whole, seeing France and Rado’s sensational knack for pulling together myriad strands of influences reach an elaborate, uncompromising vision. The band says:

“‘Upon A Hill’ is an excerpt from our new Musical experience, ‘Hang’. It features a performance by Sam, shot on 16mm film by the director Alessandra Lichtenfeld. The rest of the cast is made up of the circuit-bent nightmare babydoll creations of Yuliya Lanina.”

Every song on Hang features a 40-plus-piece symphony orchestra arranged and conducted by Trey Pollard with additional arranging from Matthew E. White. To help bring Hang to life on the road, Foxygen will travel with a nine-piece band — consisting of France (vocals), Rado (keys, guitar, backing vocals), Pollard (guitar, keys, backing vocals), Jackie Cohen (backing vocals), Cameron Ralston (bass, backing vocals), Pinson Chanselle (drums), Reginald Chapman (trombone), Rob Quallich (trumpet), and Marcus Tenney (saxophone) — with additional players backing them in select cities. Catch Foxygen on tour all across North America starting this month!
