Wistful cuts “Sunset Canyon” and “Lost in a Dream” blanketed the room (or at least myself) in silent sorrow, while upbeat, dance-infused tracks “Sleeping” and “Wings” saw Shauf ditching his guitar for a nearby sample board. He even tried his best to hype up the crowd before performing the punchy single “Deadhead”—“This is a dance song; are you guys ready for that?” (We were not. Sorry, Andy.) While they, for the most part, stayed true to their studio arrangements, the quartet reserved a few moments for shaking things up—most notably, drummer Avery Kissick’s electrifying solo outro to “Fall into a Dream.” 

Concluding with a rendition of “Green Glass” from Shauf’s solo album Wilds, any awkwardness that Foxwarren had brought with them was washed away by endearing intimacy. No matter how teeth-clenching it was to hear Shauf turn on his baby voice when referring to his bandmates as his “best fwends,” Foxwarren undeniably reminded the audience of the closeness that music fosters between the people who play it—an inspiring sentiment for December nights when the sun sets in the afternoon.
