Foreignfox release a new single, ‘Birthday Flowers’, via Scottish Fiction Records.

Recorded by Rod Jones at Leith’s Post Electric Studios and produced by Bruce Rintoul at 45-A-Side Studios in Glasgow, it follows up the ‘I Used To Be A Bellydancer’ EP, released late last year.

The song tackles the subject of gambling addiction and the true tale of the loss of a close friend’s brother.

Frontman Jonny Watt’s explains: “I have close friends who’ve struggled with gambling addiction and seen the destruction it has caused. When I was first asked to write this song I had no idea how to approach it.

“The worst thing I think I could have done was to water it down to the point where it’s no longer what it was originally intended to be. At its heart, this is a dedication from one brother to another – I had to be respectful of that. I have to always be respectful of that.”

The band – who also number Lewis Hamilton, Nick Hernandez and David McCulloch – embark on a UK tour in April.
