Foxygen, Alex Cameron


Californians Foxygen boast the musical togetherness that comes with years of collaboration; core members Sam France and Jonathan Rado have been playing together since their teenage years. They’ve used that chemistry to form seismic statements like 2013’s We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic, a record that seemed to float serenely by, even as it transmitted some seriously heavy vibes. Their most recent, …And Star Power, is a high-concept psych-folk record in the vein of MGMT’s Congratulations. Both the headliners and the opener at Friday’s show, eccentric pop prodigy Alex Cameron, put on a hell of a live show, so rest up and get ready.
