Foxing w/ or Axe, e Mall, Shinra Knives
7 p.m. Friday, December 2. Delmar Hall, 6133 Delmar Boulevard. $20 to $25. 314-726-6161.
It’s hard to believe that more than 10 years have passed since Riverfront Times named Foxing the “Best New Band” in St. Louis. We could claim clairvoyance on the matter, but Foxing has felt exceptional from day one, even before the group’s inevitable transition from basement shows to big stages at large-scale festivals. While the band’s 2013 record The Albatross should be considered a lynchpin in the music industry’s most recent emo revival, each subsequent release by Foxing has offered a further exploration of distinct and immersive songcraft. Last year’s Draw Down the Moon was an aural achievement packed with lush and deliberate layers, which made for an experiential listen akin to actually seeing the group perform live. Still, there’s no substitute for watching singer Conor Murphy turn himself inside-out onstage while the rest of the band basks in the sensory overload of audio-reactive video projections. This night kicks off a week-long tour that carries Foxing from the Midwest to the East Coast, where the hometown heroes will open a pair of shows in support of Taking Back Sunday. Best In Class: Fresh off the release of debut album Solar Rips earlier this year, triumphant metal outfit Thor Axe stands out on a massive locals-only lineup that truly befits the term “all killer, no filler.” And speaking of our annual Best Of awards, this year’s iteration named Shinra Knives’ debut effort In Grief as the Best Album of 2022 while the Mall was awarded Best Local Artist. Whether your finger is on the pulse or you like to keep an ear to the ground, this show might have the strongest lineup of local music these past 12 months. —Joseph Hess

Water From Your Eyes w/ Palm
8 p.m. Saturday, December 3. O Broadway, 3509 Lemp Avenue. $15 to $18. 314-498-6989.
Water From Your Eyes plays hopscotch on a chalk-line set of squares that each represent a different approach to songwriting. Bedroom pop and no-wave are rarely seen hand in hand, yet the Brooklyn-based art rock outfit offers a canvas of contrasting sounds that seamlessly blend and fill the space with joyous noise. Last year’s Structure bobs and weaves between droning kraut rock, wispy ballads and poetry in a way that feels both soft and loud, as if the band is playing right up against the listener’s ear. That’s not to say Water From Your Eyes is purposefully jarring, but when songs alternate between minimalism and a full-on wall of sound, any sudden jump in volume comes across as a heavyhanded punch to the gut — complete with aftercare, of course. Although Water From Your Eyes is typically a duo, singer Rachel Brown and multi-instrumentalist Nate Amos often expand to a trio to flesh out their diverse and nomadic compositions. Brown lyrically swivels from singing to spoken word while staying in lockstep with Amos’ wiry, melodic riffs, and the pair make use of repetition to build and subsequently subvert expectations. The kind of band that shows up wearing sunglasses at night, Water From Your Eyes goes beyond “playing” music by having the kind of fun on stage that quickly spreads to all in attendance. Read the Fine Print: While Water From Your Eyes is no doubt reason enough to hit up Off Broadway on a Saturday night, Philly art rock powerhouse Palm is technically the headlining act. The band’s new album, Nicks and Grazes, offers a pulverizing set of songs that traverses darker territory than previous studio efforts. Palm and Water From Your Eyes come to St. Louis as part of a three-week tour of North America that sees the pair traveling through the United States to Canada and back. —Joseph Hess
