If you're anything like me, you've been waiting a LONG time for this album to emerge. Foxface have been gigging for a couple of years now with very little happening in terms of releases. The band have, however, built up a good live reputation, particularly around Glasgow.
The most striking thing about this debut long-player is the sense of contrast in the music. Having come from quiet, folksy roots, Foxface have gradually added more modern styles to their tunes to wonderful effect. In addition to this, there is an ongoing vocal battle throughout the album between the growling Michael Angus and the sweet, breathy Jenny Bell.
"This Is What Makes Us" is an incredibly interesting and challenging album, with a fine selection of hard rock, gentle ballads and jaunty folk blended together.
Overall score: 9/10
