Embeds allowing bloggers to easily embed videos from Distrify. Just go to any Distrify film page or player and copy the URL. Paste that URL in any WordPress blog and it will automatically be converted to an embedded Distrify player. If you are logged in to distrify.com it will automatically add your affiliate tracking code to your embeds. Make sure you turn on Auto-embeds in your WP settings and also make sure that the URL is on its own line and not hyperlinked (clickable when viewing the post). The plugin also extracts the still image from the film and saves it as the Featured Image for the post. This actually works for any Embed (not just Distrify) that you embed into your WordPress blog.

An incredible debut album. Your ears and heart have no chance.

 
Wiscinsonites have reason to puff out their collective chests. Why? Well fellow brothers (and sister Monica Martin) in arms PHOX just released their beautiful self-titled debut album and it is an ode to joy. And if you heard, and fell head over heels with PHOX’s previous Confetti EP, expect more of the same here. No, not really expect more and more is exactly what their beautifully well structured album delivers.

The expansive 12-song offering dumps illegal amounts of dopamine into the bloodstream and compels you to take notice. From album opener Calico Man to the heart breaking Slow Motion, the playful Evil all done up in jaunty rhythms. This is an album steeped in honest musicianship, and the six members Of PHOX do themselves proud. The songwriting, the arrangements and Monica Martin’s unbelievable vocals all coalesce into something akin to sustenance. For these songs nurture and provide a barrier against the big bad world, if only for a little. And with songs like the stunning Laura, a song which turns the night sky into a slow-spinning disco ball. And right around the corner Shrieking Violets comes along draping a kind arm around your shoulder… hearts prolific in plain view.

And then comes Noble Heart and my own heart becomes but a fool in love with sound all over again, like a deaf man hearing birdsong for the first time. This song is iridescent and bubbly, my ear straining to the final note.
 
Amazon
iTunes

As the album approaches it’s conclusion it offer up a gift, unleashing the tidal under tow of Raspberry Seed, this song, although adorned with Ms. Martin’s vocals it gives way to glorious rapture. at 2:22 the bow breaks and floods all that you are with the entire sun, moon and stars.

In Due Time closes the alum traipsing among ringing echoes of the sung songs, and the vibratory resonances hanging in the air between listener and sweet melody. All in all PHOX has done a beautiful job and not only wowing us but making us much more. Peace.

Baraboo, Wisconsin based band PHOX are by far my fav newish carnival band. And now I’ve yet another reason to lose my top hat over Monica Martin & Co. Check out the (band member) Zach Johnson-directed video for the track “Slow Motion“after the jump.  Also, you just may want to grab Phox’s new, sort of, debut self-titled album. The songs are remastered and have a more finished quality than previous recordings (thanks Jeff Lipton).  Keep your eyeballs peeled, the album drops June 24th courtesy of Partisan Records. You can, and surely may Pre-order at: Amazon or iTunes and at www. phoxband.com. Peace.

A band of maniacal musicians of the highest and most talented order.

phox // confetti ep

If indeed two is company and three’s a crowd, then six must naturally be a circus troupe. The supernaturally fun musical phenomenon from Baraboo, Wisconsin is none other than PHOX. This band packs more ruckus and beatific arrangement into a song than is scientifically possible, or at least we thought not. The music is trippy and traipsing, with the vocals sung out like proclamations from on high. And thank you so very much Ms. Monica Martin for opening your mouth and letting fly the honey-spun melodies which are a captivating and gorgeously morass if I ever heard one. Never have I heard a voice in possession of both the light and airiness of hopefulness and the heavy laden anchor of sorrowful blue with worry lines aplenty; a voice of braided dichotomy.

The band’s 2013 release Confetti EP is a 6-song mini LP masquerading as an EP (it is so much more grandiose, sonically speaking, than a mere EP), and it is as adorable as calico space kittens decked out in Teletubbies onesies. After the jump click play and marvel as the music Crip-dances delicately upon your eardrum. In my opinion, if ever a band was destined for greatness this one is a sure bet. Peace.
