Tox and Guest, a confessional avant-folk group from Columbia University, is a love affair between two fabulous singers (Jon Perkins, Emilie Schattman), and a trumpeter (Corey Dansereau) that makes them sound larger than life. The band exists in life’s magic hours, from the sensual ‘Dawn,’ opening debut EP ‘Pixelated,’ to the unhurried march of closing track ‘Scatter,’ theirs is a diaphanous sound. Rather than imposing realized feelings through their lush but simple orchestrations, Tox and Guest leave the listener with a series of impressions. For a band that hadn’t played together prior to recording this EP, ‘Pixelated’ is an unlikely surprise, and well worth giving a quiet moment to. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
