Info zu Hall of Shame

Wenn Sie einen Song von King of Foxes auflegen, können Sie sich sicher sein, dass sich der Himmel öffnet, außerirdische Flugzeuge erscheinen, die Bundeslade vor Ihnen herabsteigt und alle Haustiere Ihrer Kindheit von den Toten auferstehen. Außerdem hören Sie eine Indie-Alternative-Künstlerin, deren unbestreitbar eingängige Songs ihr eine Nominierung als Rockkünstlerin des Jahres bei den Western Canadian Music Awards, einen Platz auf der Shortlist der Edmonton Music Prize Top 3 und eine Anerkennung von Cups 'n Cakes einbrachten: „King of Foxes ist das Original.“ Abgelegt neben Sloan, Fountains of Wayne oder The Beaches. Angeführt von der Singer-Songwriterin Olivia Street hat King of Foxes drei von der Kritik gefeierte Alben veröffentlicht. Twilight of the Empire – aufgenommen in einem Keller mit beigem Shag-Teppich an den Wänden und einem Wurlitzer im Schrank – stieg schnell auf Platz 1 der CKUA-Charts auf. Ihre Musik hat es auch auf einige renommierte „Best of“-Listen geschafft, darunter Platz 11 der CKUA Top 100 Albums of 2022 und die NPR-Radio-Liste „George Graham's Best of the Year“. Ein neues Album mit dem Titel Hall of Shame soll 2025 erscheinen, produziert von dem JUNO-Gewinner Zach Zanardo.

„Ich wollte das Konzept der Scham als etwas untersuchen, das wir aus sozialen Gründen entwickelt haben, um in Gruppen zu überleben. Aber es wurde auch als Waffe eingesetzt, insbesondere gegen Frauen, um uns zu kontrollieren. Ich wollte mich mit den chaotischsten Teilen meines Lebens auseinandersetzen, mit den Dingen, die mich nachts wach halten, und fragen: Warum bin ich dazu getrieben, mich selbst zu hassen? Das sind Dinge, über die wir nicht sprechen sollen, und auf diesem Album wollte ich mich ihnen direkt stellen.“ (King of Foxes)

King of Foxes




King of Foxes
When you turn on a King of Foxes tune, it's a safe bet that the skies will open and alien aircraft will appear, the ark of the covenant will descend before ye, and all of your childhood pets will arise from the dead. Also, you'll probably hear an indie alternative artist whose undeniably catchy tunes earned her a Rock Artist of the Year nomination at the 2022 Western Canadian Music Awards and the #11 record on CKUA Radio’s Top 100 Albums of 2022 list. Fronted by singer-songwriter Olivia Street, King of Foxes has released three critically acclaimed albums. Her third full-length album, titled Twilight of the Empire, was released in September 2022, and quickly rose to #1 on the CKUA charts. Recorded over the course of the pandemic, in a basement with beige shag carpet on the walls and a Wurlitzer in the closet, Twilight of the Empire represents a clear evolution in her incisive creativity. Street’s music has been described as being full of “purpose and understanding.” It’s a thread she continues to weave into her latest work. She was recently honoured with a Top 3 placement on the Edmonton Music Prize shortlist.

Other career highlights include a nomination for Best Music Video at the 2022 Alberta Film and Television Awards (AMPIA’s Rosie Awards) for “Only Here on Loan” and an official screening at the Edmonton Short Film Festival; Salt & Honey earned the #42 spot on CKUA's Top 100 albums of 2019; an Artist to Watch nomination at the 2018 Edmonton Music Awards; Top 3 placement in the Bent River Records recording competition (2019); two music videos among “Canada’s Top 100 Independent Music Videos of the Year” (Dropout Entertainment, 2019); and consistent radio play on college, community, and satellite stations. Salt & Honey spent 29 weeks on the Earshot! charts and was the #22 Most Added at NACC in the first week of its US release and went on to chart on 14 stations across the US.

”King of Foxes is the real deal.” (Cups ‘n Cakes)

“Think Weezer’s self-deprecating charm mixed with Fountains of Wayne’s storytelling verve… this is existential rebellion with a power chord backbone and mascara-streaked bravado.” – Uranium Waves (2025)

“King of Foxes’ set was notable for the extremely tight performance and the refined arrangements; each song is just so plainly pleasant and enjoyable to listen to, it’s impossible not to feel better as soon as they start playing. Not to mention front woman and songwriter Olivia Street; she’s one of the best front people I’ve seen, and is so completely magnetic in how she draws the crowd into her songs.”– Cups ‘n Cakes, review of Winterruption YEG performance, 2022

“King of Foxes is mainly one person, guitarist and vocalist Olivia Street... Her stock in trade is catchy melodies with an alternative edge, with often clever lyrics…Their music can run from retro, evoking pre-rock styles to some punk rock. The writing is first-rate with not only tunes you can go around humming, but also compositions that take interesting melodic or stylistic turns.” – “George Graham's Best of 2022 Albums List,” WVIA Radio (NPR)

“Twilight of the Empire is an album that works hard to win you over and does a truly awesome job in the process. This is a charming, soaring indie record that feels like it's punching above its weight in all the right ways, so I highly recommend it.”– If It’s Too Loud
