Bryce Fox Releases New EP, The Butterfly | LISTEN HERE!
Nashville alt-rock artist Bryce Fox explores themes of duality and transformation in his latest EP, The Butterfly. Produced by Aaron Chafin (known for work with X Ambassadors, Tofer Brown, The Brummies) and mixed by Mark Needham (The Killers, Imagine Dragons, Walk the Moon), The Butterfly builds on the concepts introduced in his earlier EP, The Bomb that we previously featured here. This time, however, Fox adds a more personal layer, reflecting on the delicate balance of raising a child during challenging times, enriching the emotional depth of his work.
About The New EP
Here is what Bryce Fox recently shared about his new EP. “Being married and having a kid really shaped this new music and gave it such a different tone. I’m a concerned father now and I’m definitely thinking about the world differently now that my son is here, and that’s reflected in my music. My energy has changed so much. I’m not chasing girls in LA anymore; my music is more existential and more concerned with the bigger world. Going into this album I was nervous that I couldn’t write anything that wasn’t ‘Sexy Town, USA,’ which had been my old shtick. This album has definitely opened up a world of substance and depth that I didn’t realize I’d be able to access, because it’s something that I really hadn’t written much about before. This new music is a lot deeper and the vibe is heavier, and I’m proud and excited that I was able to write an album with as much depth across many different topics.”
