Formed by Alex Bonney, Tim Giles and Matt Groom, Leverton Fox collage together a battery of musical inspiration, from noise and lo-fi electronics to free improvisation and psychedelia with a healthy dose of irreverence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group produced their first LP, ‘Country Dances’<\/a> for cult underground indie label Gravid Hands, recorded partly in a disused barn in Berkshire as well as a variety of North London’s grungy music rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since ‘Country Dances’ the group has had a new line up featuring Isambard Khroustaliov<\/a> from acclaimed electronica duo Icarus<\/a> in place of Matt Groom. With this new line up they toured the UK supporting the celebrated Norwegian improvising duo Humcrush, an experience that catalysed a new direction for the group, as presented on the albums ‘The Human Arm’<\/a> and ‘Smart Casual’<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With their subsequent releases; the album ‘Velcro Bird’<\/a>, 12″ EP ‘I Am Zebra’<\/a>, the live album ‘Foreign Object Worship – \u00c5rhus Rites’<\/a> and infinite mixtape ‘Megaskopz’<\/a> Leverton Fox cemented their reputation for both producing genre defying records and mind bending live performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The COVID hiatus saw the group assemble in a woodland in the summer of 2021 to record ‘In The Flicker’<\/a> a time-and-site-specific conversation between their other-worldly music, interspersed and influenced by the setting and the surrounding sounds of nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

” An extremely tactile avant-electronica that makes full use of mind-bending stereo production \u2026 ranging from squat, stunted machine-funk beats to bubbling, aquatic ambient environments.”
