The Energetic Choice: Guitars, Disco Drums, and Defiance: Why Brook Fox’s New Single is a Must-Listen

South-West Wales artist Brook Fox is officially back, bringing a surge of nostalgic adrenaline with his new single, ‘Together.’ The track is a vibrant indie-pop/rock explosion, unapologetically inspired by the electric energy of the 2000s and early 2010s indie-rock resurgence. By drawing influence from heavyweights like Bloc Party and Two Door Cinema Club, Fox has crafted a record built on chunky guitars and offbeat disco drums—the essential ingredients for a modern indie anthem.

This release marks a pivotal moment for the artist, as it features the debut studio performance of Brook Fox’s live band. Known for their high-octane stage presence while supporting the likes of Keyside and Glastonbury performer Mali-Haf, the group has successfully bottled that raw, "live" lightning and transcribed it onto the record. To ensure the sound met the highest standard, Fox returned to his trusted collaborator, producer and mixer Tim Hamill, whose decades of industry experience have brought the single to life with professional grit.

At its core, ‘Together’ is more than just a danceable track; it is a deeply personal reflection on identity. Brook describes the song as a "love letter" to the music that first sparked his obsession with the craft. Lyrically, the song navigates a night out in his hometown, capturing the universal desire to escape the judgment that often comes with being different. It’s this blend of emotionally direct songwriting and working-class lyricism—reminiscent of his idols Sam Fender and Catfish and the Bottlemen—that makes his music so resonant.

The buzz surrounding the BBC Radio Welsh A-Lister is only growing, as Fox has hinted that ‘Together’ is just one piece of a much larger puzzle. While fans wait to see if a full-length project is on the horizon, the new single serves as a bold reminder of why he is one of the region's most exciting exports.
