Kev Fox - Afon Ddu

Peter Saville: Kev Fox is an extremely stylish and talented young man who deserves all the success that is most definitely coming his way

Clash Magazine Kev Fox, a Middlesbrough lad whos been jobbing round the pub circuit for the last twelve months or so. Usually Im not over keen on acoustic acts but Kev Fox is a raw, emotive performer who has some killer tunes. With the strength of somebody like Damien Rice, playing over loops, delay and reverb, Kevs act is immensely powerful and soulful putting references of The Verve and early U2 in mind. Haunting and brilliant, I truly cant recommend him enough..

Manchester Evening News KEV FOX, fresh from several Channel M appearances provides a masterclass in looped acoustica, his voice dancing on echoes, wrapped around melodies that are forcefully present as well as at risk of flying off into the heavens. Kev Fox has something rather special to offer and somehow with that voice and his box of tricks he helps provide one of the biggest sounds of the evening.

When Things Explode.com "Kev Fox is a talented singer songwriter who layers gorgeous melodies and acoustic guitar over loops, samples and preprogrammed beats. Reminiscent of Pink Floyd and Nick Drake we thoroughly recommend him."

Manchester Music His melancholy songs of longing repeatedly surprised me. Looping various thumps and acoustic tinkles with technology that is probably all very simple when you know how, Fox is the perfect weekend comedown tonic, twinges of Portishead in the more brooding of his beats had people sitting up in their seats and wondering just how he pulled that sound off, exactly?
