HOLIDAY SALE AT THE ONION STORE

Artist Loxsly

  • loxsly

The concept album is not an undertaking to be considered lightly, but Austin’s Loxsly is up to the task: The group’s combination of warm synth-pop and smeary space-rock whorls denotes a band that sees the value in layers, while the concentrated whimsy of its live shows reveals a knack for subverting small-stage constraints. All of this bodes especially well for the group’s third LP, Tomorrow’s Fossils, which purports to tell a story involving mad scientists, time travel, and the “conflicts between technology and humanity”—a theme that runs deep in Loxsly’s music, where arpeggiated synths and vintage pedal steel collide.
