Foxygen - "Make It Known"

[@Sekhmet6697]

It’s like 6 different songs but everything gels together perfectly somehow… brilliant!

[@nomenium]

yep thats what this whole album is like take the kids off broadway and we are the 21st century ambassadors of peace & magic were great

[@philipme2073]

This song is going to have a lot more views some day.

July 4, 2020. Still Love. 💗

[@ohansen4492]

They have such an old school sound, I love it.

[@alexandraguaita8035]

one of the best songs of the last years

[@lyla5526]

I adore foxygen there is something so special about this band

[@wt1573]

This is the video that go me into these guys, ten years later and I can't stop listening. Incredibly underrated. Each album is brilliant and their solo work is on par.

[@wt1573]

@Plentity awesome checking it out now, already dig the animation. Thank you for the recommendation!

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

Yes people it's not that they sound specifically like another band but the sound and styles they are using is what's appealing to me, the tongue and cheek lyrics and the effects, the little idiosyncrasies of the 60s scattered all over foxygens music, how they can literally make their albums sound like musics pastime is what makes them an interesting group

[@leonakita]

I agree, if nothing else, they are a novelty act. Definitely 'everything but the kitchen sink' retro approach.

[@3amDayDreamer]

I love this song. I remember discovering this song when I was renting a cheap loft as a teenager. Good times.

[@jb8280]

My fave song by these guys. It’s like three great tracks shmooshed together in the best way. I’ve loved this track from day one and will continue to my last day.

[@Languagestudy4]

This deserves to be a true classic.

[@mjacob17]

Holy shit! They have influences.... like every other fucking band I listen to. I love their influences- I love this sound.

[@dyingforbadmusic]

finally a new indie band who know how to pick the best pieces from their parents record collection.

[@blueelectricsmoke]

Extremely good. These guys are pulling off a psych-pop revival sound far better than others are.

[@robert2339]

one of my favorite albums of the year. can't stop listening to it.

[@bryanhacohen1407]

This... this is good music. Amazing. Loved each part of the song. Becoming a Foxygen fan (I have listened the first 2 albums so far :D)

[@Fonchezzzz]

neve been so excited to see a band live. They are life.

[@03hensjo]

Support Foxygen, they need us

[@cubanheelsbeerbelly]

Now more than ever. Have you heard their new album? Tragic what's happening to rock n' roll. Support live music before it dies out.

[@toslayawalrus]

These guys are gonna be huge someday. Just glad I got to hear them as early as possible so I can listen to them for the longest possible time.

[@toslayawalrus]

Definitely my favorite song off the album. It's very old sounding indie that hit the core of what indie rock is all about

[@al_wax]

This album is still so slept on, peace to Jon and Sam

[@robertgardin4971]

Humanity failed them. Forever most overlooked first to albums oat

[@vass1149]

an incredible mixture of stones, dylan and bowie in a shoegazy background. excellent!

[@nchlswhte1]

Excellent band, heard them for the first time today, Cerys Matthews played Shuggie by them on her radio 6 show this morning

[@BrianSniatkowski]

Its not just a song, its an adventure

[@elvisbrant]

what a great music you play.

[@namelessnameless]

I'm seeing them at treefort on the 21st! Can't wait!

[@Confessionsovergin]

Favorite song released this year...

[@mandomtz]

finally a new indie band with some goddamn creativity!

[@I3enchman]

Can we stop comparing them to other bands? Sure there are obvious influences, but this is Foxygen

[@felipegama3357]

And people like to claim that good music is dead...GREAT song!

[@sixunderground1]

Ariel Pink meets Mick Jagger!

[@mrsbillforshort]

Respecting a band's singularity and greatness is lovely, but guessing at or influences and hearing similarities -- that's all fun. And sometimes hearing these echoes is not only inevitable, but can be a gateway to deeper appreciation.

[@bottledspace]

Best album of 2012

[@Soulace99]

very cool song! discovered them from a comparison to tame impala (fav band) by pitchfork. gotta get into them now, and that's a rare thing. hope i like it !!! very interesting song.

[@TheBrendanio001]

Totally suits the track!

[@devinoverstreet6520]

Really liked your claymation

[@Carlvskansas]

reallly really diggin this

[@Stbuster31]

so happy i found these guys. As many others have mentioned, tons of influences. The obvious is the 66-67 Stones and whoever else was playing that style back then be it The Animals or The Zombies. And there's a baroque sound that feels like Doors. Some have said that one part is Talking Heads; Id disagree and say its Violent Femmes since they have stated lo-fi indie influences like Daniel Johnston and early Flaming Lips. Its fun to try to catch what sounds are which. I don't think its a knock on them. They aren't oblivious to their own sound sounding like older bands. BJM was/is the same way but did the opposite of hiding it.

[@Fonchezzzz]

Yeah I agree. listen to the newer album. But I definitely had the same opinion when I heard them at first. Really interesting sound.

[@JaxBeach2NewportBch]

This is an insanely great song!

[@HeyImNicky]

This is just effing awesome.

[@cedriccapou2973]

what a trippy end!

[@Joeyo71296]

Talking Heads meets early skiffle-era Libertines, through Bob Dylan, clearly listened to a lot of cool jazz. So fucking refreshing, a new 'indie' band who aren't just morons playing 3 chords

[@saltemann]

such a dope song

[@katevalles942]

Extraño a foxygen una banda de musica realmente buena y profunda, en verdad son letras y sentimentalismo increíble, pero no se, yo no se nada adiós vecinos

[@wemovedtoparis]

I'm obsessed.

[@Joeyo71296]

Also a bit of Lou Reed vocals and something funk about it.... Reminds me a bit of Zoo Kid / King Krule too

[@Paul-dw2cl]

Me: “Rolling Stones ripoff…” Foxygen: “Ooh la la…” Me: I love this

[@scozaq]

What a great song

[@AlexanderLaurence]

RIP Danny Lacy

[@WubWithMyDub]

So creative.

[@RichieW]

Incredible.

[@nikko2221]

Sounds like they are mocking the talking heads at 2:33 haha

[@saltemann]

Hope people see the irony in saying they are totally ripping off at least 20 different(awesome) bands, in the comments below here

[@sebastiansiemaszko1976]

Ripping off 20 bands?I heard 20 people say the same thing, your ripping off opinions ( See how stupid you sound ) There used to be a thing called influences , before the regrettable mistake of someone providing you with internet access.... fool

[@benaaronson9689]

Sebastian Siemaszko Uh I think saltemann's comment was disagreeing with the idea that Foxygen ripped anyone off...

[@sebastiansiemaszko1976]

I was high and I think you are right

[@KaitlynTalei]

You are SOOOOOOOOO right :) Thumbs up to that :D

[@Wangholes]

Take The Kids Off Broadway is amazing but San Francisco and Shuggie show some of the best songwriting there is dude what are you talking about.

[@jordee123baseball1]

@jadakiss98682 no way. flash delirium is on my list of favorite songs of all time. not to mention congratulations, itself

[@Epzilonian]

This music video is like a low budget "Ready, Able" haha

[@smokey4519]

this reminds me of a song from the 60's can't remember what it is though lol

[@e4m5]

TY AF.

[@salaist]

εξαιρετικό...

[@tapehead3832]

The opening sounds a lot like forever autumn

[@19KISStheSKY97]

I hear the Doors, Velvets, Stones, er, MGMT (Although I think it's more that Foxygen and MGMT have similar influences, and sound like band the other one sounds like, rather than sound like each other)

[@Rizy50]

Listen to their new album 'We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace and Magic,' it might be a bit more digestible for you.

[@drumrollharmony]

Make it Rain, Foxygen

[@blakecarpentier4289]

Finally found it

[@itsamonster]

IS this Sam France singing!? Sounds so different.

[@AnalBlingBling]

"finally"?

[@Confessionsovergin]

I can kind of see a bit of a VU influence, with the experimental song structures, and the sort of low-fi kind of recording, with a lot of reverb and stuff. Really that's when the comparison stops for me, I see much more a resemblance to The Doors, and other sort of baroque pop acts. His voice definitely resembles Mick Jagger's though. As for The Strokes, the only resemblance to me is the vocalists' similar delivery to Lou Reed, otherwise their music is The Stooges and Television for me.

[@STEREOMAN91]

i wonder if this band watches japanese music videos. this totally reminds me of 六畳人間 - 退行の星

[@19KISStheSKY97]

THIS is how you take advantage of the fact that 4 Velvet Underground albums exist. This totally blows Strokes out of the water.

[@steadymotioncoma5341]

dig it!!!

[@UnknownBismark]

🔥

[@mikefriello]

Cool ... Shout out to Alicia for introducing me ... I

[@19KISStheSKY97]

You're completely wrong. Both bands have extremely strong reference to VU.

[@brianpace8]

parts of this remind me of Violent Femmes

[@Nycbumz]

Neil Diamond "girl, you'll be a woman soon"

[@hillaryneumann8088]

Definitely reminiscent of MGMT's second album

[@kosemekars]

pro-tip: VU released a bunch of different records in different styles

[@GoatDust]

@Colin Calvert you're wrong actually. take the kids off broadway was way better than San Francisco and shuggie. Actually EP 2011 itself is better

[@ziziplant]

Does anyone else hear The Animals in the singer's voice in the beginning and The Kinks as the song goes on?

[@davidknell8831]

That’s like Pixar time consuming work

[@jadakiss98682]

While I enjoyed MGMT's 2nd album, this is way superior to anything on that record.

[@PsyFyFungi]

7 years later, just would like to say I peacefully disagree. They are both great though.

[@19KISStheSKY97]

agreed

[@ashevm]

[@Puffpuffaye]

wow...

[@Mystapitt]

Going for the Strawberry Alarm Clock sound. Look them up...

[@yahstino]

Lmao unnecessarily obscure 60s psych pop reference. SAC already sounded like a bunch of other bands even during their time...plus I don't really see the similarities here. Not saying I don't enjoy them though...I like "They saw the fat one coming" and "blues for a young girl gone".

[@studown93]

You say that as you compare it to something...

[@bennevisplace]

Yeah, I quite like what I hear from this band, they'll go places if their invention doesn't get adulated/ managed to extinction

[@Confessionsovergin]

Dude, it's completely different stuff. This EP is heavily layered, with many different types of instrumentation and colorful arrangements, whereas The Strokes stick to writing catchy and simple garage rock tunes. Besides, I dont really hear much of a resemblance to the VU.

[@Intracis]

nah nothing like modest mouse. What songs would you compare this too by them?

[@19KISStheSKY97]

Foxygen, who......Who are you?

[@DerpTrollson]

@Ghostface sorry but nothin compares with Siberian Breaks, ask forgiveness for what you typed there

[@14regz]

you really can get lost within this film clip and just zone. in a good way though.

[@03hensjo]

Better than the Rolling Stones.
