VISUALS is the music of Andrew Fox.

A veteran musician, Fox has released his brand of psychedelic songcraft on Nicolas Jaar‘s imprint Other People, Bruno Pronsato‘s Berlin-based label The Song Says, and now New York’s House of Feelings.  Collaborating with Dave Harrington of DARKSIDE, Michael Lovett of NZCA LINES / Metronomy, The Range & others, VISUALS filters folk, psych, and soul through a pulsing, electronic prism.  Kinetic and lyrical, this is music you can see.
