Dope-soaked, derelict and wired, Ox give a nod to the Velvet Underground crossed by Bruce Springsteen, trading New Jersey urban fairground for Pacific interstate moonscape.
"Mark Brownings’s vocals remind the listener of Beck, and the music blends elements of Springsteen, Velvet Underground and Americana roots. Punk meets hillbilly. Farmer in the city. Neil Young jamming with Bob Dylan. Tape hiss, crackle and amp hum. The sound is raw, honest and glorious."
"Ox's Mark Browning has a perfectly world-weary voice, and he's crafted an album-full of songs that show it off. Even when he gives up lead vocals and allows someone else a turn -- as he does on 'Martas Song' (lack of apostrophe the band's) - it still leads to an incredible outcome, with a song that would do Joanna Newsom or Laura Barrett proud. Really, there's not a track on American Lo-Fi that isn't absolutely spectacular."
