It is a goal for any band or musician to generate the same energy of their live performance while in the recording studio. Without the organic exchange from an attentive audience, this can be difficult to pull off, but if it’s achieved then it adds a special quality to a single, EP or full-length record.

This is something the Providence alt-punk trio Twin Foxes were after while making their latest record “Green, It’s All Around You”, which came out on December 30.

For ten songs, vocalist, guitarist, pianist and lyricist Jared Mann, drummer and percussionist Carlos Molina and bassist Dan Tachon exude melodic amplification with an abundance of emphasis. Mann also handled the cover art and photography for the album while doing the engineering and mixing out of his Distorted Forest Studio based in North Smithfield.

The release took a few years to make with the result being a fantastic sounding record in a variety of ways. The instrumentation is cohesive while the rhythms are tightly knit and Mann’s riffs and vocals have a substantial presence.

“We’re super proud of this one,” Mann said via Twin Foxes’ Facebook page. “This record was recorded as live as possible in summer of 2021 and then slowly overdubbed and mixed over the next couple years. We feel it’s probably the best representation of us as a band playing together…I believe we were able to capture something special. I could say a lot of things about what went into it, but I’ll let the record speak for itself.”

“Wounded Dog” is one of the songs that sonically hit hard right from the start. This is especially true due to how the guitar riffs and drum beats fuel the feeling in rapid fashion. There’s “Time Is On Your Side”, which is my favorite tune on the recording. The guitar chords having a different tone and the chorus absolutely raging. “Small Stakes” has a slow build into a flurry of sound. Other highlights include “Start A Band”, “Pinnacle” and “The House We Built”, but I recommend giving this new release an album in its entirety and forming your own opinions.

To listen log onto Twin Foxes’ Bandcamp page at twinfoxes.bandcamp.com. There you can stream with an option to purchase. The band Instagram is a good way to keep tabs on what they have going on in the future. In the meantime, plug in and press play on a record that will excite the senses and make you feel something.
