KEXP Praises The “Excellent” Post-Disco Pop Of foamboy

KEXP has thrown its weight behind foamboy, whose new LP Eating Me Alive debuted at #180 on the NACC Top 200 last week. According to the Seattle-based station, “The second album from this Portland-based duo composed of producer Wil Bakula and vocalist Katy Ohsiek is another excellent set of colorful ‘post-disco pop’ and vibrant synth-pop inflected with a jazzy R&B streak that pairs expansive and elastic productions with Katy’s lyrics that detail the ‘entire rise and fall of a very complicated and crushing relationship’ and “reckoning with the aftermath of your public art, discovering your own queer identity, rejecting heteronormative narratives, surviving grad school, and giving up in a good way.”
